    this featrue (I would say this is change of philosophy but not feature ) is not enlisted so far.
    what is mentioned is rain sensor and some "new" hill assist (noone knows what this is abt).
    forgot to mention that body of the car will have several adjustments.

    speaking realistically, RS5 will stay mostly the same. no new engine/gearbox. all changes are related to "additional value" which is "touchy but useless", a lot to be delivered from new A6/A7.

    however I will wait till facileft availability. just like touchy items .

    In Jan 2012 restyled S5 will see the world.
    In Feb 2012 facelifted RS5 will be rolled out.

    List of changes is not fascinating: new taillights, new headlights, new steering wheel (all 3 items are in a new A6 style/way), couple of features will become possible and that is basically it.
    This is very hard to believe!
    How is possible that they would sell an A5 with new front/back end and still keep the old design for its more special S and RS iterations?!! Who is gonna be so stupid to buy those for those few month before the changes arrive completely through the whole line up?
    NO WAY!

    As per that photo - they are NOT! As long as we have fog light below - main head lights can't be full LED as they are ALWAYS an ""all-weather'' lights as such.

    there is no specification of what exactly new headlights will be. just "new headlights".

    I am ready to put money on this... Will see!
    Maybe as an availability of specific models to particular markets but not as world premiers is what your info is based..,.

    You think he will be released worldwide in Feb. 2012?
    I heard he comes to the USA in summer 2012.

    But for me is only the German market interest and I hope of the end 2011 to order

    You know anything about a new Adaptive Cruise Control for the A5 with Stop & Go and the new MMI with Touch?

    A light & rain sensor, the A5 have it or? What's new?

    no news abt new ACC or MMI... hope that finally MMI Touch will be installed.

    sorry but there is no explanation on what new light/rain sensors will be. obviously A5 has them now, but new ones (?) to come.
