Just wait until the automakers start REALLY pushing their electric golf carts. Suddenly all the "antiques" will be in even higher demand. Not a fan of how ideology is driving car design/production, instead of customer demand.

My dealer has an RS5 coupe in that color on display. Looks awesome in sunlight. The color is not for everyone, but it is very eye catching.
However, don’t want. No heated steering wheel.

Lol the perforated steering did feel weird... I’d rather have alcantara...

I’m thinking about trading for the RS SB. However that green is just about Fugly in my opinion.

same thought I had when I first saw the car in pictures, but it’s stunning in person.

It goes get the “less seen” colors some exposure. When I see an S5 on the road (pretty unusual around here) it’s usually either Mythos Black or Daytona Gray. I’ve never seen a White or Blue in the wild — and certainly never the Green!

I don't ever expect to see another green one. There are only 94 of them in the US per Vincenzo. I do, however, like that green on the show RS.

Does the RS5 HUD show the current gear and RPMs?
