Ever wonder what that specially shaped niche in the trunk of an Audi S5 is for? Transporting slalom cones, of course.

Wow, that looks perfect enough to convince me that's what Audi had in mind when they designed it.

You should write in to Audi and show them this picture. They'd probably get a kick out of it.

is the cone small or just that space is big?

Cool...too bad the real reason for the oddly shaped cubby is the lame gooseneck trunk hinges.

The Gooseneck hinges are just fine.
