I love, love, love that color! Plus you have a measure of exclusivity, on what I consider the high-water-mark on car styling. I really doubt the next generation A5/S5/RS5 will be as beautiful as...

What did you decide? Did you buy a CC, or was that some time ago? I saw the S3 in my gym parking lot again, and it does look great. I can't help thinking that its lighter weight, and 4 cylinder...

More aluminum would be perfect. Weight is my biggest knock against the S5, especially the V8. I have three other cars that are light-weight, so I notice the difference. But there is a limit. The...
