Re: Audi S5 Cabrio

I think it is Tarek. Me 2 I'd take the coupe but that is one sexy Cabrio there. It reminds me of the old A4 cabrio in that color (RS4 to be exact) but in a much sexier proportions.

Re: Audi S5 Cabrio

I think I've found my 2nd favorite four door convertible after the Continental GTC, amazing proportion with a perfectly designed rear deck.

Re: Audi S5 Cabrio

I'm shocked to find out you like that Bentley! Gasping....


Anyway the S5 Cabrio is very handsome. Hopefully since they're showing it now I'll get to see it at Detroit along with the R8 V10.
