Default A5 3.0 TDI S-Line!
And easily half the fourm waits with bated breath for *that* car to be approved for North America. The 3.0 TDI is coming in the Q7; hopefully, they aren't opposed to showing the North American market what a sporty diesel car is. I've long said that I'd be happy to be an early adopter of a hot-blooded diesel. I like the idea of the TTS, too, however, I feel like they got the power number wrong and the shiftgear options wrong. TT-RS sounds fantastic.

Otherwise, things are quite excellent here. As I mentioned on WCTT, we've got a little one on the way!

Default Yes, I'd be very happy to buy a diesel... they just need to put it an interesting
car!

Congrats, again, on the forthcoming addition to your family!

Default Brilliant black is "brilliant" not flat
I think the metal flake in Phantom makes it look gray and I think it makes it look a little dirty all the time. Just my thoughts.

Default Allright - I just switched my Meteor Gray to Brilliant Black
And I'm happy about that choice. Too bad Phantom Black was not available on the A5...

Did the exact same thing as you a couple months ago and never looked back.

Default Both colors are available on other models. My local dealer has phantom black and brilliant black
cars parked next to each other so they can be compared. They are not S5's but do show the differences in the two colors.

Yeah, you're always looking down trying to polish off the swirl marks

Default I completely believe that after seeing my dealer's demo BB A5 yesterday!
Oh well...she's built and about to get on the boat, so I'm in it for the long haul now!
