How are they undeceive about the future? They know exactly what they are doing. They know as soon as they announce the rs5 for the USA they are going to lose hundreds of orders for S5's. So why not wait to announce it, and get as many S5's on the road as possible, because they know they will be seeing plenty of fairly new S5's being traded in for a RS5 once(if) we get it, and 2 sales to 1 customer is better then 1.

If your 335i can "destroy" an S5 then why is 0.4s slower than an s4 to 60 mph, and slower in the quarter mile, and slower speed in the slalom?

BMW certainly makes great performing cars so you can't go wrong buying one if that's your main purpose for buying a car. But the S5 certainly has that and more (all wheel drive, looks, size of trunk, more exclusive, etc).

let me ask you this question, would you be happy to buy a S5 then trade it in for a RS5? You're helping them make a lot of money and you're losing a lot of money as well

I did not say 335i will destroy a S5, i said the new 335is. And also, the S4 > S5 performance wise anyway. My friend traded his S5 for a S4 and he loved it even more.

There's so many more 335's because there's that many more units brought into the country (assuming you're in the US).

My dilemma is between the S5 and C63 right now. S5: looks, resale, and quattro. C63: interior and performance.

the reason that i give up the c63 is it's interior and exterior. the C63 only got performance.

People always argue that theres too many of this, theres too many of that but think about it again, it's everywhere cuz everybody loves them, you cant be unique with sth unless it's a piece of ****. My point is, 335i is so popular is because it's simply the best. However, eventhough the car is great, I still very much like the S5 because of it's looks, but it's just that Audi is very undecisive about the S5's future and I would purchase the new RS5 in a heartbeat but I cant because it's not out in Canada.
it's everywhere because BMW offers cheap leases, and they subsidize their leases which Audi does not. Therefore, BMW's lease wise are cheaper, so, when people get a little money they jump in a BMW. In Europe and Asia, Audi is king. Only north americans who don't know better tal about BMW.

its called business, the only thing that matters to Audi is the bottom line. They are always going to have the customers to buy the car, so why not get as many on the road as possible.
