I'm a little frustr ... no, I am pissed off that they can't seem to construct a car that isn't massively overweight. The S5 is the comfortable cruiser - this is supposed to be hardcore and nimble. Cutting off the steering wheel at the bottom and adding some horsepower is not how you compete with an M3. Shesh.

I agree. I do like Audis and think they are some of the best looking cars on the road, but the weight and handling characteristics have me going back to BMW.
