New S5 just arrived

**pss_s5** · 01-14-2009 09:10 AM

After 5.5 months wait, my S5 has finally arrived. I will be picking it up this afternoon. Ibis white, Auto with all options. Can't wait to get behind the wheel.
Yes, I opted for the Auto, but I really preferred manual. Nevertheless with the big 4.2 V8 the auto should perform just as good.

Congrats, and the auto makes it a perfect cruiser.
Make sure you post some pictures once you got her.

5 and a half months, now that's a painful wait. Enjoy it!

Congrats! S5's usually take between 10-12 months from order time to delivery. You did well at it being just 5.5 months. They are great cars you are really going to enjoy it.

Congrats on the new ride! Im also getting a white S5... 5 months and counting. I'm hoping mine gets built before they convert to the 3.0T.

I am going to post some pics today

Auto is the way to go with that car plus the Tiptronic has been revised somewhat. You will love that car. show pic

This thing is almost scary. Everyone stops to check it out. People take a double and give you the thumbs up! I am going to post pics this evening. V8 is definitely the way to go. I am not sure if the V6 is going to hold up to reputation of the original S5.

If the 3.0T V6 is lighter, faster, and more powerful everywhere except those last 500rpm or so...i don't think it will have trouble holding the S5 reputation. However the V8 sound is something you cannot replicate.

I'm kind of shocked every is saying auto is the best way to go with the S5. Sure it is a pretty big coupe, but an 'S' car an manual just go together.

Enjoy the S5.
