Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

there was a correction at the end of the article.   the a5 comes with either a manual or auto.  i agree that this car is gorgeous.  my buddy is shopping the 335 (which is also gorgeous) and mentioned he took it for a test drive but i had to stir the pot and ask if he had looked at the a5 yet.....test drive coming soon.  Cool   (i figure we might as well throw in a test drive of the 135 too, just for good measure.)   funny thing is the g37 never was in the running for him.  i asked why and he said they kind of did a poor job of redesigning the exterior.  we both agreed that its not terrible but the original was so nicely done, clean, refined and angular, that maybe the designers were trying to hard to make something new.  the antithesis to this would be the redesign of the audi tt.  i think they actually improved that car.  same goes for the miata.   oh by the way wing, i still like you.  Cool

Re Auto Box...

Here in Europe the S5 will shortly be available with Audi's revised 7 speed S-Tronic dual clutch gear box, I guess you guys in Canada will soon have that option too on the A5 range.

BTW, an A5 Sportback will be available next year - http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Secret-new-cars/Search-Results/Spyshots/Audi-A5-Sportback2/?&R=EPI-5958 .

Forget "Top Gear" with the egocentric Jeremy Clarkson and his grovellingly emetic sidekicks "we're more important than the cars 'cos we unconvincingly laugh at one-anothers lame & poorly scripted jokes" crap. Fifth Gear is the best motoring program on TV.  http://fifthgear.five.tv ...& click video
