Pretty much all across..... I have been on the Audi forums doing a research for months... They will all tell you how beautiful the car is, how great the AWD is (which I don't care) and for those who drove the M3 will tell you what a great handling car M3 is and most S5 owners will call the M3 a "rocket"....So please don't tell me to "go read" stuff as I am not just going to buy a $70K car without reading reviews....

And, yes, there will be a RS5 and it will be a great car blah blah blah....

M3 will have to be it for a while until we see some RS5's.......even then it might be head to head w/ M3 as far as performance is concerned....

Buying a S5 would of been great savings over M3 (Minus Audi's depreciation) but then why buy a beautiful car that is just boring to drive....
