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!

A5 is nice - get one in black

(dont agree with it being better looking than the TT)

mustangs are also nice, but there is so many varients, some are pants and some are sh!t hot
