I can't agree more with the first part, it is a beautiful car. Incredible in every way except one ........

The interior in Audis is always perfect and clean looking. When I test drove an S5, I was dissappointed though. The plastic looked and felt cheap and there were too many many buttons on the console that made it look cluttered. The door pockets reminded me of ones on a much lesser car than an Audi.

That still doesn't keep it of my "possible next car" list though because it's got way more "pros" than "cons" going for it.

The S5 looks hot in red. My favorite is the black.

Personally I wouldn't go with red. I'd stick to blacks whites and the shades in between. I wish the US model didn't have amber in the headlights...kinda wish they used amber reflectors instead. The only major fault in a virtually perfect exterior design is when it's viewed from the rear 3/4. It looks too fat and bland in the back.

Red does look poor on that car. it hides the body lines.

Thumbs up Audi makes way gorgeous cars!

I saw them on display at Munich airport during my ED. They had S5 A5 new TT wow wow wow, I couldn't help drooling. I was chatting with the sales guy, and telling him I was there picking up my 335i, but I had to give it to Audi, BMW aint got nothing on them. As far as looks go, they have BMW beat bad! But, I think Audi is kind of expensive for what you get. S5 too expensive for my taste. I prefer the 335 by a big margin.
