S-Tronic(DSG)... Sad story if you ask me... Why? Still not ready for prime.

S5 will get optional TIP from March 2008. BUT, Drive Select will be available for manual only.

RS5... 4.0L Biturbo. Gearbox? Either manual or S-Tronic. Audi will probably wait until S-Tronic(7Speed) is ready.

BTW, drove S5 few days ago... Excellent car. Manual gearbox is the way to go with S5 IMHO...
