Provided you love it, you will forget about the price in no time. If however it doesn't tickle you every time you drive it, well then you are toast...

Ouch, thats alot of money for that car. I really do like the S5 but I just think it is way too expensive. I almost recommended it to a couple people who were looking for a nice new two door until I saw the price which would be way out of what they wanted to pay. I thought it would be more of a mid to upper 40K car not close to 60K loaded. Hopefully the 6 cylinder will be more sensibly priced as the v8 price may keep the S5 from being very successful.

Congrats on the car. Is this car roughly the size of the new A4 which platform it will share or closer to the A6. It seems more like a A6 type coupe then a A4 sized coupe especially considering the price but I always see it compared with the 3 series coupe which would also means it competes with the G37 coupe.

I guess the IS-F wasn't coming soon enough to your liking. The S5 is a great choice! Congrats.
