Default S5 Spotted in Ottawa Canada

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/87673/image042.jpg"></center><p>This baby was sitting in the parking lot at QNX Software (a Harmon company - aka Harmon Kardon). I guess they are doing some development work on the sound system.

looks to be US/CAN spec (orange reflectors). Interesting.

Also, the mirrors are black, but it has an S5 grille.

May be an A5 S-line

Harmon Kardon is spying. Probably copying the B&amp;O system to bring BMW up to speed.

can you order body-color mirrors on the S cars?

Default no hatred ;) I like BMW's it's just that I'm skeptical of HK's intent.

and the fact that Audi doesn't use Harmon and recently signed on B&amp;O. Harmon has been a BMW staple for years.

Default actually, that sounds very plausible

B&amp;O's ICEpower technology is totally dominating the class D amplifier space. It is very sophisticated technology and other companies will certainly want to study it.

Default My guess is that is a S-line.

I believe those wheels are listed as a "sport" option in the UK brochure.
