conspiresy theory:

you see, this started back in the 1800s with Audinicus Crowe ensuring that there was no number equality in the land. numbers such as 5 and 7 couldn't go the same places that the prestine 4 and 6 could go to, such as the 'square root' joints, and the 'even' bars. they could only attend the 'prime' holes, and only work at 'odd' jobs.

this oppresion lasted for decades until a gentleman named Beemeriom X faught for the rights of 3, 5, and 7 to go places only the evens could go before. he had a dream that 6 and 7 could coexist, and all be counted as numbers in this land we call america. there was a movement made in the year 2004 where 6 lives in harmony with 3, 5, and 7. in 2005 that movement was perpetuated with putting 3 and 7 amoungst 4, 6, and 8.






we know them today as the A3, Q7 and the 645ci

I hear Audi is *secretly* working on an A5 variant, too. It will have a Radial-30-cylinder engine with a supercharger for each iindividual cylinder and be capable of traveling so fast you'll be able to arrive BEFORE you left...

I've seen a couple little articles on the new A5. There were some pictures of an A6 that was actually supposed to be a mule for the A5 which would be on a new chassis. It will be between the A4 and A6 in terms of price and size and will be a coupe. Of course that could be just rumors.

I think the A5 is going to be a 2 door coupe based off the A4 platform?

Just lock the thread, it's not getting better than that. (where is that damned "standing ovation" smiley?)
