Is it possible to special order without sunroof? I'd like a S5 but not with a sunroof. When I ordered my A4 years ago, I was able to order without.

I was in your camp of not wanting a sunroof. But I looked at my roof this morning as I opened the door, and I thought that black panel of glass looks good.

It is true that the sunroof has limited usefulness. It only tilts up in the rear. My son's Toyota Celica has a similar radical roof line, AND a functioning sun roof. The Toyota sun roof does not slide into the headliner, but rather extends over the roof line at upward angle.

Maybe the Germans thought the Toyota style sun roof would make too much noise on the Autobahn.

That looks bad enough on a Toyota, just imaging how that would look on the 5 with the bigger panoramic glass. Would be like an airplane tail wing or something like that and I'm sure it would negatively impact the airflow around the car.

My 2001 S4 was the only S4 I have ever seen without a sunroof. I ordered it that way to allow extra room for my helmet ;-)

I just bought a S5. I also asked the Audi Dealer. he mentioned that Audi didn't like:

1. How the roof would open
2. It would change the lines of the car and Audi didn't want that.
3. Said it would like a Hyndi Toubran....lol

I always bought the cars with the sunroof option. But with the S5, I am not sure if I like it all because it only tilts rather than slides open. On the other hand, I understand why it can't; there is no room for it. I still like it because it gives a nice open feel when the shade is rolled in.

in euro spec S5 cars , sunroof is optional . models without sunroof have 2 grab handles on the roof for driver and front passenger .
