I wish, though I’d rather have the RS6. They are both still out of my comfort zone, price wise.

The RS6 causes me to, as Jeremy Clarkson would say "have a crisis".

I would have waited for an Audie refresh. You have the old Audie interior with a tablet style screen rather than the newer double touch-screen design.

Appreciate your opinion but I’m fine with the interior. Also, the 5 series doesn’t get the dual screens. They’re in the 6’s and up, and the SUV’s.

Tell the wife she's nuts to turn down the Stinger for a Mini.

The picture doesn’t do it justice! This car truly has a stunning dash and interior.

The B9.5s came out in 2020. During that refresh, Audi increased the screen size, removed the control dial, and added touch controls. There won't be another refresh. B10s will be the next iteration, which will be a complete redesign. B10 A4s have already been spied testing in Germany, and they seem to still have the tablet on the dash.

It is kind of strange considering the double stack screens started with the A6, went on to every single vehicle up the line-up, then moved to the bottom of the line-up with the A3, and completely skipped over the A4/5.

So only the strong sticking with the Stinger lol. For me still too good to part out. 4.5 years and 48,000 km.

Got a 21 Mustang convertible as a stable mate, timed that well with an .80c per litre prize rise over that last year. Lol.

Well, after 3 years of having fun in my GT2, I decided last weekend to upgrade to a '22 Audi RS5 Sportback. As you can see, I'm still a fan of the ceramic paint color.

I had to take a double look lol. Almost like the same but one on whole other level. Solid pick up. Sending blessings your way.

Nice sportback. Personally my biggest negative with new Audis is the overuse of gloss black plastic in the interior. Props to you for keeping the faith and not getting an suv.
