[gallery link="file" columns="1" size="full" ids="99694"] How do you make a celestial event like this week's eclipse more grounded to involve a car?

Monitor the eclipse somewhere along the path of totality, preferably a cool p...

Spied: Audi S5 Sportback B10 Now Testing

[gallery columns="1" link="file" size="full" ids="86896"] As the B10-generation of Audi models gets closer to production, further variants have been seen in test mule form. Today's appearance is the S5 Sportback. Most already know that ICE offerings like the B10 will shift to even numbers, meaning the replacement to any A4 derivative will be badged as an A5 derivative.

Spied: B10 Audi S5 Avant

[gallery columns="1" link="file" size="full" ids="84206"] There's a highly believable rumor circulating that Audi will move its ICE offerings to odd numerals in their alphanumeric names, while EV e-tron models will encompass the event numerals. Q4, Q8 e-tron, A6 e-tron concept and the like all seem to point the way, a direction that implies very likely that the upcoming B10 variants will be named with the number 5. It's safe to assume then that what you see here is the S5 Avant, or long roof ve...

Samoa Orange Metallic was a popular color in 2010, about the same time the R8 GT arrived on the scene and searing the dark amber paint color in everyone's brains.
