With its 354-horsepower V8 engine, six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive, the Audi S5 has been a favorite in our fleet ever since it arrived.
It doesn't hurt that it has Brilliant Red paint and silver-painted details.
This car ain't just a pretty face, it's car of the week.

If looks could thrill......then the s5 would be as exciting as a night of CNN.
Sorry, I know Im supposed to want to mate with it and drool like a teething baby when I see one, like half the internet, but this thing just leaves me cold.

hmmmm i was at UT campus last friday to show someone the university. but no, I don't routinely drive there. if there's another red s5, then there must be 2 in town. the dealer says s5s are rarer than r8s...

I loved the S5's design when I first seen it in person. I currently still view it as an attractive sport/luxury coupe however I find it's design a bit boring.

Sorry, I put that in the wrong tense, I meant saw. Must have been you, then. I have seen only one around town. I live up in North Austin and see more R8 than S5's, that's for sure. Last time I was at the Chuy's off Duval I saw both a white and a dark grey R8 parked at different areas of the parking lot.
That's definitely a good thing. For me, I've still yet to see another yellow SRT-4 in Austin, which makes me like my car that much more...
