First Kiwi S5 Customer Car
« on: August 24, 2007, 05:11:02 PM »
If you live around the Kohi/Mission Bay area then keep an eye out for my new Black S5 as will be putting a few KMs on the clock this weekend.

Its a great car and awesome to drive.

Saw one in the flesh yesterday on showroom floor in Hamilton.

Truly gob-smacked - the photos seriously understate the visual impact of this gorgeously sexy car.

The interior is amazing - style, function and quality.

BMW and Merc are screwed.


Although I suspect that some of the surface effects owe more than a little to one Chris Bangle (I hate that!)

Cheers

Ned was that your S5 in Taupo last weekend?  Parked outside Bakers Delight?

Chris Bangle also did the '90s Fiat coupe, which apparently was rather a nice drive with their 5-cyl across the nose

The software on the A5 is quite cool, have you had a chance to link MP3s or your phone?
