Thumbs up Official S5 "I'd hit it all night long" thread

While I am not 100% head over heels with the styling, it just has PRESENCE and PANACHE the coupe game has been missing without dropping 200k on an Aston Martin. Outside the weird LEDs, no random lines, no crazy shapes, no giant overhang. It also looks perfect stock, no "wait till its dropped on 22" rim" crap.

Saw another black one today with the chrome/aluminum accents and moving, its just art.

CAN I GET AN AMEN!?!??!?!

I saw one tonight and I had to look 3 more times. It definitely has style in spades.

Yep... I am not usually one to place the looks of a car over the other qualities... I'd actually be the first to buy an ugly car that I enjoyed driving and thought was a good value.

But the S5 looks so damn good it was seriously tempting me for a while when my A4 lease was up... I really did look into getting one and I hadn't even driven it yet, I just WANTED it based on looks alone. It was lust, I guess.

Also, I think the LED lighting is awesome. It makes the car so much cooler than it would be with just some regular halogen driving lights.

AAAAAAAAMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHEEL FITMENT. Are you listening Lexus? Don't give me the GS AWD looks like a 4x4 because it has AWD! Audi can still make AWD cars have AWESOME stance.

amen!

I've made up my mind and I'm selling the GS next summer for an Audi A5 or S5, the side profile is a bit boring and the interior could be better but I still love this car!

Very nice looking car but overpriced, probably the reason I never see them on the road.
