2010 Audi S5 S-Tronic Cabriolet - Audi Soft Top Convertible Review - Automobile Magazine
The car is simply amazing.

The 2010 Audi S5 Cabriolet is by far the quietest softtop convertible I have ever driven. There was no howling wind noise or cold air coming through the tight seams; the S5 Cabriolet really drove like a fixed-roof vehicle. Surprisingly, the driver's rearward visibility isn't hindered by the top; the car has slightly larger blind spots at the C-pillars, but the lack of a B-pillar more than makes up for it. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to lower the top while driving due to the sub-freezing temperatures outside, but unlike other convertibles on the market, the Audi S5 Cabriolet is still a stylish ride regardless of where the top is positioned, especially in this color scheme, with brilliant red paint and a black top.inline_mediumwraptextright26436296/reviews/editors_notebook/0912_2010_audi_s5_s_tronic_cabriolet0912_01_z+2010_audi_s5_s-tronic_cabriolet+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

2011 BMW 5-Series and 6-Series - New BMW Luxury Sedan and Four Door Coupe - Automobile Magazine
A new 5-Series arrives for 2011 and the 6-Series will gain a four-door coupe.

Myriad intriguing technological innovations and new engines and transmissions mark the sixth generation of BMW's 5-series. Developed in parallel with the 7-series, it shares all suspension components, resulting in a switch from struts to a multilink layout in front. Most suspension components, the front fenders, the doors, and the hood are aluminum. The optional active steering uses electric - instead of hydraulic - assistance for additional fuel economy benefits.inline_mediumwraptextright31746612/features/news/1002_2011_bmw_5_series_6_series_four_door_coupe1002_01_z+2011_bMW_5-Series+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

Meet the P-NUT from Honda, the latest entrant in the strangely effervescent arena of pint-size pod cars.

Meet the P-NUT from Honda, the latest entrant in the strangely effervescent arena of pint-size pod cars. To the comely blonde models, slowly spinning turntables, and acres of cheap carpet, we can add tiny bubble-car concepts as an auto-show fixture. At the recent Los Angeles show, Honda presented the P-NUT. The too-cute name is an acronym for Personal-Neo Urban Transport. More than two feet shorter than a Fit, the P-NUT seats three and has its (hypothetical) powertrain located at the rear; Honda says it could use a gasoline engine, battery power, or a hybrid of the two.inline_mediumwraptextright27554755/features/news/1002_honda_pnut_city_cars1002_01_z+honda_p-NUT+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
