The New Hotness (2009)

Posted Apr 13, 09:35 AM in News by Scott Conley

I traded my R32 last week.

It wasn’t an easy decision, because that car was a number of great things: a blast to drive, very high utility, and of course, the perfect shade of Gator blue.

However, the Audi A5/S5 coupe will not be denied:


Three-quarters view is a favorite angle for this car.


Then again, is there a bad angle on the S5?

It’s everything I wanted it to be: a devilishly dark (near black) blue, lavish interior that frankly outdesigns Lexus, an unmistakably tight exhaust growl, and the seemingly limitless might of 354 hp.

There’s plenty more behind those gifts, too. The LED driving lamps, recaro-style seats, very slick Bluetooth integration, and logo’d front brake calipers. Yummy!

I’m on a three year lease. We’ll see how it holds up!

Hi Scott:

Totally unrelated to your update..

How are you doing? Aaron, Pom and I are doing well. In fact, we just adopted another member of our family. She was on the euth list and Aaron got her off by going there four days in a row and finally adopting her. Pom is not used to having a monster in the moat. We hope that they will get along.

We often think about you, Caryn and canine Conleys. Shoot us an email and let us know how you are doing.

Very truly, yours

That’s a girls car, so I assume it for your wife, right?
