A5 vs S5 (aesthetics)

I'm new here, have been shopping the A5/S5 coupes recently and was wondering what the difference is looks-wise between the two cars? I can't really tell from pics, and I've never seen them side-by-side, but it seems like the S5 is a bit more aggressive looking.
Thanks
Thanks

S5 has a chrome grill, aluminum mirror caps, different wheels, quad exhaust, more pronounced spoiler, 3 spoke steering wheel, sport seats...probably forgetting something.

S5 gets different front and rear fascias as well as side sills,different grilles, and different trunk lid with more pronounced spoiler (S-Line A5s get front, rear, side sills, and trunk lid similar to S5)
S5 also gets dual-dual exhaust, 3.2 A5 gets single-dual exhaust, 2.0 A5 gets single exhaust (S-Line 2.0 A5 get dual-single exhaust)
These are the differences (US spec) that I can think of, Im sure there are more -- please add/correct me if I'm wrong....

Also, the bar below the grille also has an aluminum optic blade and same colored blade in the rear valance.
Looking at the interior, you'll have several S5 badges and an S5 door sill plate. The two gauges and gauge needles are different. There are also S model specific inlays (such as stainless steel and carbon atlas).
I can't think of any others that haven't already been mentioned. Some of the differences are more apparent when you build out an A5 and S5 using their online configurator and selecting Brilliant Red, Deep Sea Blue or Sprint Blue (in the case of the S5).

A5 goes well in 3.2 + Manual transmission + S-line pkg, great performer, good mpg's, $10k less than an S5
S5 is top of the line, more aggressive look, greater performer, thirsty V8 beast, exhaust sounds so good it's intoxicating
You will be the envy in your town with either one, it all comes down to how much you want to be in debt and for how long. Whatever you decide, get the S-line pkg unless you pick the S5 which has it all.
