I attached an article about the new Audi S5 convertible. Has photoshop that is very close to prototype cars being road-tested.

I would take it over a 650iC any day. BMW really needs to step up their game in terms of styling.

+1 Audi produces some gorgeous cars, however Audis don't have the driver to car connected feel of BMWs... I have owned many BMWs and a few Audis (I drive an Audi A4 3.0 Quattro and a BMW 325i Convertible now) and both are great cars. However, there is a reason why BMWs are, "The Ultimate Driving Machine" and Audis are, "Vorsprung durch Technik" (Progress through technology).
