RWD+big V8 motor+MT>*= my idea of fun

As for Audi reliability, Costco said best, it really depends. My A8 has been nothing but stellar so far.
A8's are still ultra baller man!

Why don't you tell that to your dad when he gets his M3 And next time I'm in Rockville to see my parents, I'll come pick it up.

Haha, he is most likely going to bite the bullet and cancel the order. He did the same with with the BMW M6 last year Plus he said he wished he had ordered around October/November so it would ship around spring time and we can fly to SC and do the whole tour of their facility/test track and cruise back up to MD. We'll see though...

LEDs really set it off. Didn't think much of them at first until in person. Really like them.

This car was on the top of my "buy" list amongst the GTR or M3 since my pops is buying me a car this summer, this car then quickly fell off when I saw "350 hp" and "TIPTRONIC" as if a fucking S-level audi didn't need a dSG!

Tragic, really.

Does your "pops" know that you are planning on picking out $60-$80K+ cars?

Purely a matter of opinion. I think Audi has one of the nicest interiors out there. I feel quite the opposite about Acura. While the overall design is ok, when i look at the materials used, I get a feeling that not as much effort was put into the planning. (I use acura as an example moreso because I had a legend and is really the only other car I really loved that I have owned). I also disagree with whoever said that all audi's look alike. I still to this day have trouble telling the difference between a TSX and a TL when they are driving towards me, and never have this issue with an Audi, and definitely not with an S series.

Well Like I said, it's a matter of opinion, and he is entitled to his. I disagree greatly but thats my opinion. Of course it's common knowledge that Audis have beautiful interiors

That house is gigantic and tacky.

The S5 is tits.

Anyone who thinks the design of the S5 interior is subpar is a complete idiot...period.

It is one of the most driver centric interiors I've seen in years. Its for someone who loves being in their car and knowing where everything is without having to think or reach for it.

donkeys.

Well, I think it's subpar compared to an Aston Martin. You think I'm an idiot, huh, huh, huh?!?!??













Yeah, the A5/S5 is indeed a nice car. Too bad I won't be in a market for a coupe for the next vehicle.
