When did the A5/S5/RS5 get a redo?
I found this YouTube about the new RS5 and was amazed at how different it is inside and out. Did I miss this on Jap/Autoblog or has it not made it here yet.
Yet another V8 gone for a forced induction V6. =( Also yet another pasted on tablet look for the infotainment screen. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nXoaREUZzk8

the B9 body is new this year. Pretty sure the V8 has been gone since 2013?

Not in the RS5. It was still the N/A 450hp version.

I drove the new A5 Sportback at a thing for work last week (also drove a bunch of other cars, including a Hellcat, a Toyota Mirai fuel cell, i3, new Countryman, Genesis G80, Volvo XC90, new Miata, a CX-9, a Macan, a Bolt and a few other more plebeian things). Sat in a Giulia Quadrofolio - but they wouldn't let people drive it...
I really liked the A5. The new Countryman is really good to, and the G80 V8 was a surprise -- drove fantastic, with a ton of power...

Loud with a very heavy clutch. Didn't really feel that fast though. I guess electric tourque has ruined me...
