Me and my wife just recently bought a new Audi TT from a dealership in Orange County CA, which if you don’t know is like Beverly Hills without the nice people. But that’s beside the point. One thing they do have in Orange County is MONEY. And lots of it. Which means car dealerships there get first pick of the hottest and most of the moment cars available. And in December, that car was the new Audi S5.
I don’t know what it is about Audi/Volkswagen vehicles, but they consistently ooze class. And things are no different with the S5. The designer, Walter de’Silva, says this is his most beautiful car to date. And I would be hard pressed to find someone to disagree with him.
Another noticeable quality of the S5 is the speed. For a car that fits in size wise in between a BMW 335i and an Aston Martin DB9, it is very nearly on par with both. And while you may say a Maserati Gran Turismo is prettier, it is in no way faster. This is a video from a British show called Fifth Gear and it is a comparison between a BMW 335i and an Audi S5. And remember, you can actually fit people in the back of the Audi, while only amputees would fit in the back of the BMW.
So here is my question, Is the drool inducing Aston Martin DB9 with a price of around $195,000 or the heart stopping Maserati Gran Turismo that costs around $145,000, really worth it when you have an option like the subtle yet beautiful Audi S5?…….
That really is a hard one…….
