"Audiness" - I commented to my friend that the car looks very high-quality, but not so exotic as to be unusable. I know my 911 isn't an exotic, per se, but I end up treating it as such in the sense that every occasion is special, I am always checking the leather for wear, etc. The RS5 looks very sturdy, like it would hold up to a long time of regular use. Personally, I like Audi's approach to tech, so the whole thing worked for me.
look at the 7th pic u posted. u can already see some wears on the driver side shoulder pad. that's usually what happens on my previous RS4 & R8 on the sitting bolster.

Thanks for taking the time to fill us in on the car Chris. I'm so glad to here that it wasn't disappointing and can't wait for the program to come stateside.
What were your thoughts on how the steering felt with the new crown gear differential Quattro and torque vectoring?

Maybe in a few years when I upgrade my daily driver...I definately love the look of the S5, I seriously contemplated it over my current 997....but that feel and look can't be matched...bravo to Audio though...by far the sexiest affordable car they make to date!

This is definitely true. Our S6 front seats developed side seat bolster wrinkles very quickly. Also, I checked out a new R8 a couple weeks ago and the passenger side looked completely mashed. It was fresh off the boat. Must be a design thing...
