Talk about some coverage these days… Jeff Sabatini of the WSJ.com, just launched a nice review on the Audi S5. Head on over to read the full review! You wont be disappointed!
So let’s say you’re as smitten as I am with the Audi R8, that midengine exotic that arrived from Germany last fall. But like me, you can’t quite afford its six-figure price, relative bargain that it may be. You don’t have the juice with your dealer to get on the waiting list anyway, plus you’re kind of afraid of attracting too much attention from the local constabulary. Not to mention that you need a back seat. In other words, the R8 is about the last car you’re likely to park in your driveway, so you’ve already banished it from your mind, and here I am needlessly taunting you.
Well, someone at parent-company Volkswagen must have realized that there are a whole lot of us who fit this description. Rather than squander the halo image of its supercar on a lineup consisting mostly of sedans — hot as some Audi sedans may be — the company decided to produce something to better monetize our fanboy-ism: a junior version, a subtly beautiful sports coupe with a back seat but sans midengine configuration and rakish aluminum body. It delivers most of the rest of the R8 package, though, including the engine and interior, yet it sells for about half the price. So where do we sign?
