The s5 probably has its sunroof tilt and then open over the hood as opposed to inside like ours, just my guess
edit: nevermind just googled pics... Not sure why some show doubl/panorama roofs while some are single.

You might as well get the cabriolet if the sunroof is that big and actually opens

Of course I'll mention my wants. Because that car had been at the top of the list for a long time. I've shared my love for the s5 to you guys many times.
Totally jealous you get to drive one for a week!!
Built in switchbacks! Lol

Chad, she fun. VERY fun...seriously. I wish our cars had more torque. And RWD. Not a lot of extra buttons to overcomplicate the cabin and I found that after 1 day I was adept to changing the radio stations/climate control with both steering wheel AND console buttons. Germans do nail it...they really do.
That said, I'm kinda antsy to get back to driving the TL. Like with anything I don't like getting spoiled and then feeling like the TL isn't good enough anymore. Same reason I don't go drool over all these super cars...if I can't DRIVE them, then I don't care. I appreciate it...but I don't really care. I'm a driver...no doubt. When I get up in the morning I look forward to my highway commute...same with going home after work. I enjoy all the things I'll see and going fast and changing gears and sounds and music. It's an experience.

Thank you boys...very much. Easy to show the contrast of the blue against the black and the light colored wheels and the terra cotta driveway and grass. Love that shot too. Honestly, love the car...but I love mine just as much. His badazz OEM wheels make me want to slap the Aspecs back on for shts and giggles.

Honestly, I think the TL looks damn good next to a newer Audi. So, it's standing the test of time in many ways. Great work on your Acura.

Thanks Yum and Kurt. 
That means a lot to me, man. I love her very much and still enjoy driving her.
Okay, some low res shots...
here's how i got her, filthy wheels and car...of course, within 10 minutes of being in my possession she'd been washed. Wheels, barrels and all
inside, cluster is simple when lit up. i love

I've been looking for a coupe to add to my stable and I may have to go check out the S5 in person.

Love the shot of the two cars in your driveway. S5 doesn't outshine the TL at all.
Bet you're the envy of your neighbors too!

Awesome shots J. your TL looks like it's on the same price tag with that S5.... looks that good and rich
but how much is our trade value? 5k?
Sooo when are you installing the RS5 grille?
Or taking out the front bumper
I bet he did already
S5 looks perfect but meh it's stock, all the same. Attention goes to your TL again, it looks marvelous on that rear shot
Tips tips tips? When will it be done?
No videos while driving?
Force that powaaar!!!
