Default Volvo C70 Coupe or the Audi A5? Or a Mustang?

I'm tempted by both of these cars. The Volvo folding hardtop has a lot of appeal given the weather we usually have, and the latest review of the A5 says it is streets ahead of the pre-production models originally reviewed and found wanting.


Another (crazy?) option is to import one of the current Mustang convertibles (don't like the rear 3/4 window on the coupe), but the guy in the dealership in Miami wasn't offering much in the way of discount, and actually wanted $10k over list for the Shelby 500 model he had in the showroom!

Any thoughts?

Audi A5 looks really smart, seen a few around, love the LED lights.

I saw an Audi A5 parked up the other day and it did look absolutely gorgeous. In saying that I also saw a new BMW 325i Coupe and that looked absolutely stunning too. I'd be hard pressed to pick out of the A5 or a 3 series Coupe

BMW leaves me stone cold - no particular reason and no offence to any of you that like them, but they just don't interest me - never have done, probably never will.

Besides, I want something that sells in smaller numbers than a Mondeo or a Vectra, and the 3 series has outsold both for years!
