I love the S5 sportback, I just had another A5 sportback loaner last week and thought it was an awesome car, I really don’t see the need for the S model though if your leasing for some reason the A5/S5 aren’t leasing out too great at least when I was looking back in October/November.

The A4 leases out a lot better and the cars feel exactly the same.
Thanks Alan. I've rented a bunch of A4s through silvercar, and I just didn't like the sound/feel of the 4 cyl that much. Seems to idle roughly much of the time. Not a fan of BMWs 4 cyl either, though this x3 i have now does idle pretty smoothly. I'll have to see what the actual incremental lease cost is between 4 and 6 cyl versions though.

I know I sound overly negative on the Tesla- I guess it comes frustratingly close to greatness. If they could just be more customer focused I think they could easily improve all the little nits.
