>> Audi has been a little Sedan heavy lately, but the new A5 will defiantly tip things more towards a sporting direction. This Coop defiantly has some nice looks like the BMW 3 series that was recently reintroduced in its Coop form. The technologies in the A5 and the S5 include a new gearshift indicator that will tell you which gear you should be in. There are familiar MMI navigation interfaced it also handles audio and climate. You'll find lane assist, side assist to help you keep from barging your new 5 series into that car in your blind spot. Also, look for a trick BNL audio system that we have seen in the 8 series as well with pop up tweeters. The taillights on this car automatically flash in hazard mode when the emergency brake is put oh and by the way that S5 I mentioned it will be getting a 4.2 liter V8 that we know rather well with a six speed manual and quatro all wheel drive, hello. ^M00:01:02 [ Music ]
