Test drove an A5 GTI...

[cgrossi at dwc.edu (Christopher Grossi)]

I am very envious of you right now, as I cannot wait to take one for a
whirl. I am not 100% sold on the looks I have seen in the pictures, and want
to see it in person before making a final decision. What was the price tag
on the thing if you recall?

Thanks,
Chris
