on the audiusa site you are unable to configure meteor gray with the cinnamon interior, did you have to special order yours?

no. it was just a standard order - MSRP (then my negotiated discount).
something might have changed since July when i ordered (and they placed order in Aug when they got the allocation), but i doubt it - pretty sure you can order Gray/cinnamon.

... I was originally looking at an S-Line, but didn't want black seats and door inserts again. I'm really into the cinnamon color contrasting with the black and willing to sacrifice the S-Line's sport seats and exterior kit for it.
If you have time, please let us how it drives. I'd love info on:
- Power of the 3.2 (did you test drive an S5 to compare?)
- Handling, especially since it's lighter and more balanced than the S5
- Non-sport seats
- Do you have sport or stock suspension? How are the 19" wheels?
Also, it looks like you have black headliner. Very nice if you can get that without S-Line.
And hopefully the cinnamon seats are still an option (and that the AoA configurator is wrong).
Thanks in advance.

Sure - love to help:
- Power of the 3.2 (did you test drive an S5 to compare?) - i did drive both but the S5 - noone needs that power in Dallas-fort worth - but the S5 is obviously much faster... the S5 is obviously a BEAST but the A5 is pretty darned powerful as well. too. and at 100 it feels like 20 - it is an impeccably crafted car (only wish a louder exhaust note). it's a big car, about 300 pounds more than the 335, so comparably it's not as QUICK, but it's plenty fast. i **first thought** i was disappointed when i first drove it, (felt sluggish), but i have re--thought that. it was was directly after test-driving a 335i sedan steptronic; the A5 is plenty adequate if you value a gorgeous car with VERY adequate power vs. simply a stripped-down rocket...
- Handling, especially since it's lighter and more balanced than the S5 - handles very very well. it's a BIG car, and feels more like a Grand Touring sedan... but a hell of a GT. Feels not dissimilar to the bentley coupe (except for the power difference obviously) - and yes i have been in one several times.
- Non-sport seats - yeah, one thing i wish is that the non-sports seats had more side support. they are very comfortable and very high-quality, luxurious leather, the only issue is the side bolsters... i just recommend sitting in one to get your own personal opinion.
- Do you have sport or stock suspension? How are the 19" wheels? - i have the stock suspension. i did NOT get the S-line - just got the 19' wheels. i LOVE the wheels - they look fantastic and among the compliments i've gotten, a good number on the wheels...
Gray and brown work together. :) Must be the two neutral thing.
