New Meteor Grey on Tuscan Brown Audi S5
Here are a few shots of the newly acquired '09 S5.
Specs:
Meteor Grey on Tuscan Brown
Carbon Fiber Trim
6 Speed
Bang & Olufsen sound system
Navi Package w/ rear parking camera
First Impressions after 1 week
Deep but tame V8 exhaust note; not loud enough for me!
Deceptively quick; it doesn't throw you into the seat like an M3 would. It's more refined and power delivery is very smooth. The M3 is just a raw beast.
Light steering makes it very easy to drive around town.
Notchy 6 speed gearbox; that brand new car feeling.
Can't wait to get on it and put Quattro to the test.
Current plans include 20" wheels (brand TBD), Stasis Engineering catback and KW V2 coils. I need to enjoy it stock for a little while though.

I agree, Mike. I think the M3's interior is very solid, but definitely not up to Audi's latest. The boys in Ingolstadt are doing it right - unfortunately we don't get all their offerings (such as the RS Avants).
