jump in price over the B5 S4 and had an interior that was more like a Passat than an Audi(excluding seats). Sure the platform was better but that was the biggest slap in the face to long time Audi enthusiasts imo.
The S5 is a vast improvement to the small luxury segment from Audi, finally back to a nicer interior but its still got that so-so gas-hog-of-an-engine mentality. The B8 S4 seems to be restoring order =-)
Hal.

Whoops...
I wanna ride...
