    1. The 2017 S5 actually looks good
    2. Stock S5/RS5 wheels look better than 90% of these aftermarkets I see

    1) No, glad I bought a 2015
    2) Rotor wheels do look better than most aftermarket, but I'm seriously considering the VFF-104s

    The side and rear looks really good. The front end....not so much. The A5 front end looks nicer than the S5 front end. Just saying.

    I agree. Maybe the interior advancements but styling is a downgrade. I'll happily keep my 2016

    Thats the best angle of the car. But the belt line, the bottom rear kick in/out, and that fender badge are just killing it in my book.

    But I usually prefer the older models anyway.

    Even though that's the only good angle of that car, is still doesn't give me a chub. Not lying, just have good taste.

    B9 looks more like B8.7. The only thing it has that I want is the virtual cockpit.

    If I could get a B8.0 RS5 here, I'd be in heaven.

    I'll agree the stock wheels look great.

    1) doesn't make me want to move out of my 8.5 ... will leave that to the MB E43 coupe
    2) can't stand the non-directional nature of the rotors, or any non-directional wheel for that matter ... reminds me too much of an olds wheel
