The Audi A5 is an immensely capable luxury coupe or convertible, especially for those who don't travel light or cancel plans because of weather. The S5 offers the same benefits with increased performance and a firmer ride. Other cars may excel at a given quality or quantity, but few can match the overall balance of the affordable A5 or deliver the grand touring blend of the Audi S5. Both offer impressively handsome styling and top-notch engineering.

The 2011 Audi A5 coupe comes with a new 8-speed automatic. Last year's 3.2-liter V6 engine has been dropped.

Also, there have been changes in some options, packages and wheel designs, and navigation includes HD radio for the 2011 model year.
