Spotted a new S5 out on the A62...

Das M · 07-30-2007, 03:30 AM

So, there I was driving home from work, dinner in the front passenger seat, a drink in the drink holder, music blarring, and all of a sudden I see some strange headlights in the rearview. They get closer and I recognize them. It's a new Audi I say to myself. It's coming up on the driver's side now and I'm checking it out, then it passes and I see the quads and the badge and I'm like damn...it's an S5. So I get on it and start catching up to him a little, but I had to exit (my turn was right up the road). If I hadn't had a hot meal in the front/drinks in the cup holders I would have followed him for a bit just to see how it looked/etc. Sorry, no pics, just thought I would share my story though.

Hey 335viaSTi where are you at, do you work on Ramstein? I don't think I've seen your car around and I would have noticed a blue car with coral red interior. I have the red 335i with black interior.

Nice, anyone know when this thing will be released in the states?

Yeah, I work at Ramstein. You wouldn't really be able to tell that I have coral red unless you were right up on my car, I have my windows tinted. However, you could recognize my car by the Hartge spoiler. I have see your car around and wondered if you were on here. The red looks great. We will have to get some folks together sometime and check out each others cars. See you around.

Hmm how much is the s5 going to go for? It might be something worth looking at...is the s5 awd or just the rs5?

The S5 will start around $49 go up to around $57, may be my next car as well.

pokerface · 07-31-2007, 05:44 PM

if only it came with the 2.0 it might be worthwhile to look at.
