2008 Audi A5/S5

Good times are rolling at Audi. Sales, production, and profits have all risen for each of the last 11 years, so the marque is in a celebratory mood. The first champagne cork to fly was the mid-engine R8 supercar. The next one will be a voluptuous, decadent four-seat grand tourer, the likes of which Audi has been itching to produce for the last 11 years, while it was attending to more serious business. With its all-new A5 and S5 coupes, the company is scratching that itch in grand style.
