- Volcano Red
- Fine Nappa Leather (Black/Magma Red)

Congrats on your order! I'd love to see volcano red in person.

Congrats! I'm contemplating the exact same switch. Did you get a chance to test drive the 2013 coupe with comparable options (e.g., sports diff without the dynamic steering)? If so, just curious how you'd compare the handling dynamics to your S4 (assuming it's a B8)...

PS: Bold color choice. Nice!

Really can't offer a good ride difference response, as my current S4 is an '05 cab. They only really noticable things I felt in the new S5 is that the seats in the S5 are much more comfortable, the shifting in the S5 is a lot "harder". The throws seems shorter and tougher, but then again my current S4 has had a lot of break-in. And the overall drive was much smoother. This S5, even tho it's a 6 and not the 8, does really have some *****.

Yeah, thanks on the color. I'm really looking forward to seeing it.
