My pics of the S5 that was parked in the Audi corral at Laguna Seca for the American LeMans event.

but i did love the car, it was a very impressive car - BUT it did not provide the oomph of a fast car and give any sort of an adrenaline rush when stepping on it, it just felt weak, and numbers say about 5 seconds and to be honest it didnt feel like it, but it was very smooth and this could be why it did not feel that fast, im used to a burst of speed, this was a smooth linear motion of speed... different, the RS5 is what i would wait for if i were to purchase this car, but with audi depreciation i would wait a year and buy a used one...
Well... I finally drove the car and I have to say that it is a great car but I didn't walk away with the feeling "I must have this car!". The looks (interior and exterior) plus the electronics are far superior to my B6 S4. The power felt about the same; which makes sense considering it only has 14 more hp. I think they did a great job with the styling but I wish they would have stepped up the power. This car should be more of a progression over the previous S models. It is basically a lateral move power-wise.

Signed- "Super Audi Fan"

I looked at one yesterday and I love the bodystyle. The Front LEDS look awesome and the interior is flawless. It might be underpowered but from a styling it is great.
