Many automakers seem to release convertibles throughout the year, which doesn’t make much sense to those of us who can only enjoy top-down driving for short portions of the year. Audi has already missed almost the entire summer driving season with its new line of convertibles, the A5 and S5 Cabriolets. The high-powered S5 will go on sale later this month with a starting price of $58,250. Unfortunately, lovers of the sun who are happy with the A5’s mere 2.0-liter, turbo four-cylinder will have to wait until fall to plunk down $42,000 for one.
The A5 will also feature a Quattro all-wheel-drive model with the same 2.0-liter engine, starting at $44,100. None of the prices include an $825 destination charge.
Audi also announced pricing for the 2010 S4 sedan, which gets the same supercharged V-6 as the new A6 sedan, good for 333 hp. An RS4 will likely go on sale later in 2009 or early in 2010. Pricing for the S4 — which also goes on sale later this month — is below.
S4 sedan (manual): $45,900 S4 sedan (S tronic):$47,300
