2009 Audi S5: Road Trip to Sweden!

2009_audi_a5_gothenburg1.jpg

2009_audi_a5_gothenburg2.jpg Look how great our long-term 2009 Audi S5 looks parked in Gothenburg, Sweden, with a layer of snow on it. Oh, wait, no V8 badge on the quarter panel. And the sidewalls, they're kind of like, uh, sidewalls. And... only 2 exhaust pipes in back. OK, so it's an Swedish-spec A5 and it's not even ours. But still, it's stunning, and it's the only A5/S5 I've seen after 2 1/2 days of wandering in Gothenburg (or rather, Goteborg), which is of course Volvo's company town.

There to drive the new S60? See if you can snag a drive in the new Saab 9-5.

"no V8 badge..."

EWWWWW! Don't touch it! Its infected with European-itis.

It's a condition whereby everything seems to be going great and then BAM! It hits you. NO V8!

I don't care how cold it is there, I'm jealous.

Have fun!

When is Edmunds going to test the 4 cylinder A5? I saw one on my street.
