Aerodynamic Artisan
The title is quite interesting:The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
Just an excerpt from the article:

BMW's ability to magically keep the 3-series ahead of the competition makes the 335i the witch. The company hasn't made a turbocharged gasoline engine since the Bee Gees were on the charts, yet that didn't keep this generation of BMW engineers from virtually eliminating turbo lag on their first try. The driver's seat is always inviting, and sitting in it gives you a direct link to the car's soul. There's considerable price premium over the Infiniti, but if you have the means, you won't regret it. Just think of at $6550 as an investment into five generations of engineering perfection. This is no Narnia. In the chronicles of sports coupes, the witch is still on top.

Well, I won't be buying an S5 anytime soon. I need something involving and relaxing, hard compromise to come by.

No comment is needed. One picture is a thousand words.:cool: :t-drive:
 
Armani on wheels. Really this desrcibe it best.

A tough choice really between the S5 & 335i. Problem is that I hate AWD coupe/sedans BUT the looks, the interior is really appealing for this Audi + it drives nicely. Actually I'd love to own both
 
Similar comparison will pop up the coming week. The out come isn't going to be a surprise. The S5 is clearly the "better" car which off course come at a higher price.
 
That was a really well written comparison-thanks for posting...

They did the M3 as well if any of you are interested..

I like the way the S5, looks, but from what I hear I really won't like the way it drives. I don't expect the A5 to be any better either. It's by far the best looking of all the coupes(IMO). The E92 is a very good looking car, but a bit Vanilla next to the A5. I don't mind the interior, it's pretty straightforward and very, very BMW(straight laced and focused). The Infiniti.... what Infiniti????????????? I think the ideal car for me right now, that one that ticks all the fright boxes, is the car in my avatar. Not quite a coupe, but fits the bill perfectly, IMHO.:D

No one said anything about numbers. We're talking driving experience.

My bad, when you said "won't like the way it drives" I assumed you were saying you don't like the way it performs. So you want a more engaging vehicle is what your saying?:eusa_thin

Precisely. The B8 A5/S5 simply lugs too much weight around the corners, and the Audi engineers were bullied by the marketing monkeys into making darn sure you can't feel a thing coming through the steering wheel. Good thing the cars have Quattro, outstanding engineering and design, otherwise I'd completely overlook Audi. BMW makes outstanding drivers cars, but at a cost, and that's sure to keep me out of a BMW for a long long time(as long as they're on the quest to sell the most cars out of all premium auto manufactures this will always be the case). MB has learned it's lesson and I don't think Audi would ever go back on it's reputation).
