I have been reading this forum for a few months. I have an order for an S5 which is due in february. My lease on my mercedes is up and I didn't want to re-lease so i have been searching for an S5 in stock anywhere within 300 miles from my home. I went and checked out Jerseybeemer's car but I didn't like that it did not have all the options ie... inserts,B + O,tech, etc...Good thing for him since he went back and got it. I found a fully loaded one today(phantom black/black, stainless, nav,tech,B + O, and I bought it!!! I get it on Saturday. I am really excited about this car. I haven't been excited about a car since my '97 M3. Since then I have had a Mercedes CLK430, Infiniti G35 coupe, Mercedes CLK 500, and a 1978 Nikki Lauda special edition Alfa Romeo Spider(which i still have).
I test drove the S5 3 times and had a sh*t eating grin each time. The same smile you get when you race a car on a track. I think the car is beautiful and absolutely fast enough for me. I was thinking about the new M3 or a 9114s but this car is less expensive, more unique, easier to live with as an everyday car, and an interior that is so ergonomically correct all other auto companies should buy one so they could learn how to design an interior.
With AWD I won't need to borrow my wife's fx-45 when the few times it snows here per year.
When I get my car I will take some photos and post them. If anyone has a specific picure they want taken let me know.
