Default Saw an S5 at the dealer

Yep, when I had to the dealer yesterday, there was one S5 on the lot. I thought these weren't available yet(?) Nice looking, awesome interior, but the side profile wasn'tquite as distinquishable as the other Audis IMHO. Like from a passing glance, I could seeone mistaking it for the new Accord coupe or even a Solara. I actually think the A3 looks far more unique. But still, I'd love to drive one.

From the side, it does look a bit different, but that's good if you ask me.

Audi has produced some absolutly beautiful cars lately... I mean downright awesome. The new TT, the R8, and the S5 are works of art.

The new Audi's (sice 2005-2006) are just beautiful. I'm not a huge fan of an "S" car in my personal driveway, because too much just means speeding tickets But I think it's a 6-series killer for less money.

I love the LED lights on the A/S 5. How was the size of it in person? It looks pretty big in the photos.

It's actually fairly large in person...wide, sweeping windows. It wasn't really parked near anything so it was hard to compare. Very Solara-esque in scale and style from the side though (which may be sacrelige on this board, but the Solara is a good looking car). I didn't notice the LEDs on the front, though. Should have take a picture, but I was preoccupied with getting road debris dislodged from my wheel.

The Toyota Solara looks way to big for it's frame and wheels. The S5 looks more proportioned and balanced, correct?

The B8 A4 is lookin' pretty sexy too. It's got R8-esque headlights as well.

Far better proportioned, just their side profiles are pretty similar. I wouldn't call it sporty looking either...but it does look very graceful...but I guess that's the point of the A5/S5.

I saw a Red S5 at my local dealer on Sat. Beautiful!
Btw, you can now build your S5 on the Audi web site.
