Tony did you find a good SoCal dealer to place your order?

Its not just the size but the two extra doors that make the RS4 more suitable for me.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the same car from Inside Line's review (they're in Santa Monica)

Hate to say it but the absence of a sliding sunroof would be a deal breaker for me.

Default Not so sure if I'm gonna go after the S5 anymore... the rear visibility was really a turnoff

Not like all the misguided dealers aren't turning me off either. Price, too, is starting to worry me because everyone just keeps expecting a more and more expensive price tag (everyone seems to think it will be over 60k now USD and that's just too much for this car). So I dunno, time will tell... my car goes back this Thursday, boy I'll miss it. Just for laughs I'm trying out a G37S, though.

I agree, it is hard to justify when there are cars (such as the CL63 AMG) that offer 450bhp for a base price of 63k it does get me thinking. Especially when it's likely a fully loaded S5 isn't too far off that number with about 100bhp less. I guess its a good thing when there are so many choices in and around this price bracket.

That's true, we have a GOOD problem of not being able to make up our minds in this market

Although the S4 looks better and better each day to me.
