Audi S5

So I've been seeing quite a few advertisements for the new Audi S5, especially here on X5world. I went and drove one and was pretty happy with it, but I'm curious on other people's reactions to it. To me it seemed just a little too bland, but the fit and finish was phenomenal.

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
I hear that the new Audi 4 is based on the same platform, it might give the BMW 3 a little more competition.

I've been following it closely for over a year. Almost bought one in December but there is a 3-4 month delay as there is a shortage of V8 engines. THe other issue is that they get such HORRIBLE mileage, that Audi doesn't even list it on the site, AND there's a significant gas guzzler tax.

Other than those minor issues, I was ready to sell my Z06 and get one, now I'm hesitating until the supplier issues are fixed..

Btw- I don't think it looks bland at all, but the interior does look better in pictures than in person.

Saw one in person at a dealer in the Hamptons a few weeks ago. I must say, it's a real looker!
