    S5 Convertible

    I noticed when I was at the audi website the S5 convertible only has a V6, am I mistaken. I love the S5 as an everyday driver but only a 6?

    General industry trend is to lose cylinders and add super or turbocharging (or both..). Adds torgue but loses some of the purity IMHO

    Re: S5 Convertible

    hate be repetitive (since i've said this several times before) BUT, at the risk of getting "flamed" as "tiresome,"....

    get your v12, v10 and v8 sportscars while the getting's good....they're (any builder) certainly NOT going to offer "big bore engines" in the US too many more years...unless this "carbon" B.S. blows over, which is doubtful;

    such a shame because if won't make ANY difference in the climate (IMHO) whether you believe in elective man made "greenhouse" gasses or not...because the Chinese and Indians DON'T buy it

    I just don't think there'll be any "performance" loopholes in "CAFE" that you could get a 2 seater thru; volume or weight or # of passengers MAYBE, but NOT a wt. or seats/hp anything like an R8 has

    so get 'em while they're hot, boys!
