the only spoiler I would ever consider is that motorized spoiler in the spy shots of the RS5.
As for the integrated into the trunk lid spoiler, the S-line A5's and S5 both have it.

spoiler |ˈspoilər|
noun
1 a person or thing that spoils.
• (esp. in a political context) a person who obstructs or prevents an opponent's success while having no chance of winning a contest themselves.
• an electronic device for preventing unauthorized copying of sound recordings by means of a disruptive signal inaudible on the original.
2 a flap on an aircraft or glider that can be projected from the surface of a wing in order to create drag and so reduce speed.
• a similar device on a motor vehicle intended to prevent it from being lifted off the road when traveling at very high speeds.

Sorry, Steve. I did get it but I also think that at times a spoiler can look good on a car (you also got me curious as to the full actual definition of the word). Though I hate the wing Audi makes for the A5.
Am I right in assuming the S5 has a lip on the trunk that the A5 lacks? I know my S8 has a lip that the A8L lacks. I rather like that. It's very subdued and tasteful. Kind of like the rubber lip that I had on a 1983 SAAB 900S many moons ago. That looked good. But the boy racer look of an actual wing doesn't appeal to me on a road car.

+10 here. I'm a huge fan of spoilers, but not on the A5.....and a few other cars not deserving a spoiler...ala...Camry, Cadillacs, Pickup trucks...etc.
