Pics? I won't get a benz unless it's AMG, that amg tag is basically an entirely different car.

The C43 is basically the C450 Sport renamed. Mercedes is going to do that with all of their sports designations. So not a true AMG. The C63 has the hand built AMG engine, suspension and is practically a completely different car. The 43 is still a hot looking car though and fast for it's class.

BMW is pretty much doing the same thing with the //M240i (and the //M2 in some ways) and probably going to turn the 335/340 into a //M335i next generation.

Saw one this weekend at the local dealer....shyts nice. I want the coupe, tho...

The only reason I'm even considering an Audi now (BMW owner) is because it offers a ton of tech for $50k and all of it can be had with a manual trans. A BMW 4 would be $70k with the same stuff, and some are not even offered:
-Audi virtual cockpit

-heads up display

-panoramic sunroof
-heated/cooled seats
-Quattro awd
-LED head/tail lights
-adjustable ambient lighting inside
-Google Maps-based navi
All can be had with manual in the 4cyl Prestige trim. Hate that they dropped the manual in the S5, but I'm ok with the 2.0T since I have a V8 now.

Thoughts on a 2015 S4 brehs? Found a used on around my way for 39k w 18k on it.
Currently drive a 2014 Camry. Reliable? Dont know much about cars but think they are one of the nicest looking whips inside and out.

That's a hell of a price. They must've taken a hit since the new ones came out.

Anything German is going to be unrealiable at some point. Regardless of what anyone tells you.

In my life I’ve had 2 Japanese cars (Lexus GS350, Infiniti G35c) and 1 German (MB CLS63). Took 7 years for the Infiniti (essentially a Nissan) to give me a $300 problem. The Lexus (essentially a Toyota) was flawless in the 4 years I had it. My CLS had everything go wrong that could go wrong in year 4 from new (I bought it a year old). Air bag suspension. Vacuum problem that not even Mercedes could properly diagnose. Window switch. Etc etc.

A German car will never be as reliable as a Japanese car. Especially a Toyota. German cars are over engineered to a fault. They have bleeding edge technology. There’s more there to break.

But you’re probably never going to get as much driving enjoyment from a Japanese car (arguably). So you have to make the trade off. If you think the S5 is going to be anywhere as cheap to maintain or reliable as your Camry you’re going to be in for a surprise lol.

Do your research. Hit the Audi forums. If there are problems with the 15 you’ll know.

This^^
You buy Japanese/Korean/some American cars
You lease German cars. <<<learned this the hard way
Also, Audis are some of the worst to service due to cramped engine bays. The engine sits ahead of the front axle which makes accessing some components very hard, which equals high labor costs. Ever heard of the Audi "service position"? Google it and see what has to be done just to start work on some repairs.
