Default S5 - Strong Combination or Not?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/155267/img_0692.jpg"></center><p>On the S5 I think any combination works when it comes to colors, some just stand out a little more. What do you think of this S5 with the Magma Red interior and Meteor Gray exterior?<ul><li><a href="http://iamaudi.com/audi-s5-erupting-in-magma/">S5 - Magma &amp; Meteor</a></li></ul>

Strong enough to be the combo released as a demo to all dealers back in 2007.

I was going to say...I like it, but it's about the most common combo as it was the demo pairing.

Default If you're using the blog as a sales tool, don't you think you should get a more professional pic?

That pic isn't very professional. I'm not sayin' you need to be in a suit, but the Bill Belichick thing isn't right either. You can still be cool and un-salesy and contemporary, just with something other than a hoody and surf spray.

Default I like it.

Of course I have it.

On this forum, it may be common. But I havent personally encountered one on the road yet. (Western PA, NE Ohio or WV) More due to the scarcity of the S5 than the popularity of one color over another.

Our (Pittsburgh) Auto show is going on this weekend, (**), and pulling in and out of the building, people were staring, like I was an exhibitor. Still get great looks on the road with the car, and love the color.

(**)Q5 looks nice, btw - Still dont like the IS-F, Caddy CTS-V wasn't as bad looking as I thought, M3 looks nice in person.. X6 is a pain to get in and out of (at least the one with running boards).. Camaro - at least it something for the GM to look forward to. (kept it too far removed behind ropes, though)

Default I like the dog.

I'd be more likely to buy a car from a dog person than a cat person but that's just me... but that certainly doesn't constitute effective marketing!

Nice combo! Didn't like it at first, but it grew on me.

Default Not sure

If your color balance is off, then maybe. Magma in your shots looks like it leans a little too far towards Mary Kay.

Tuscan Brown would be my pick so far for either Phantom Black or Meteor Gray.

Too popular since it was the demo combo in early release.

The dog is fine; Frenchies rock (we have two in the family). I'm talking about the main page.
