Audi > M3 for looks.

I'll shake your hand and acknowledge you getting to the finish line faster, but that's only after I pull up, park, smooth down the cream linen pants and open the door for the lady who matches the car in looks.




Lights remind me of a Kia Sorrento. Don't know why they changed it to that extreme.
lol you need to read #13 again. you just repeated what i said

Not sure about you, but I have plenty of opportunities to use all that power in LA...

If you didn't already have an F, I'd say S5, but going from an F to an S5 is quite a drop in performance, so I'd say M3. However, It looks like you are enamored with the styling of the S5 though, so you should just go with S5. I think the S5 definitely looks better and classier inside out.

S5s are rare, but at the same time they are not that distinct from the A5, and those are quite common in LA. So the rarity factor is not really there.

That is very very very true... you just made my decision THAT much harder! Compromising speed for style is hard coming from the F... but you are right about the differences with the A5 and S5, or lack thereof. I'm not quite too sure about the style changes though; both cars will have style changes in less than a year or two, which just makes the decision THAT much more difficult. I really appreciate your input though!
