Default I'm late to the game here, but beautiful car. BUT...

I'm with some of you in being a little disappointed in Audi's decision to underpower this car compared to the competition. What was Audi thinking?

Maybe it's to make sure there's a market for the S5 and possibly RS5, but come on, I'm betting my chipped B7 2.0T almost has as much power and torque as the base A5.

Cheers to Audi for a beautiful design, inside and out. But Jeers for weaksauce powerplant when compared to the target competition.

Default imho, engine options should have been:

200 hp 2.0t, 290-300 hp 3.2 V6, and 380 hp S5 V8.
