    What engine does the Audi have?

    At first I'd go for the BMW, but the HSV sounds tempting.

    The BMW is my choice, but I would be more than happy with the other two.

    as above, what spec audi?
    of the other two, the HSV seems a better deal than the BMW

    it would be the 3.2 A5...
    the bmw in my opinion is the better of the germans
    the HSV makes both these cars seem overpriced but is probably the least desirable
    Some nice cars your driving there bro are you only considering new?
    have you thought about a Subaru liberty STI spec....there is so much to choose from between 70-100k

    get a beamer if you want to look like every other unimaginitive chav on the road, the A5 is a HAWT car, its newer, stands out and imo is much nicer then the beamer.

    Or if you want to be a hero to everyone you know whos under 17, get the HSV

    I'd say get the A5. It's much nicer inside and out than the Bimmer, and you don't look like a tosser driving one, something commonly associated with BMW-drivers, at least here in Britain.

    and that makes it ALL better!!!

    all depends on what you wanna do and how much of a tosser you wanna look like in the process lol

    HSV is the favourite simply cos you know its going to be right... all home grown stuff is... the FPV equivilant might also be worth the look (thats my attempt at being non bias ) maybe even the Lexus' are worth a look mate?

    GS300
    IS250

    ???? maybe, i dunno, they look fairly trick

    From a looks Perspective? Audi.

    From a Performance Perspective? HSV

    From a "I'm a pretentious twit" perspective? BMW.
