Audi’s inner beauty nearly eclipses its fetching body on this S5 coupe. At about $58,000 loaded (including Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive), the S5 delivers plenty of sporty performance and sleek style. Not bad considering BMW’s 6 Series goes for $75,600.

Interior: A central dial controls all audio, climate and navigation, which appear on a colorful large screen. The heated 10-way power seats are comfortable and well bolstered.

Moonroof: To keep the coupe’s sloping exterior lines clean, the moonroof slides open only a couple of inches to let in fresh air. The tinted glass top allows in light, but without the warmth of the sun.

Power: The two pairs of chromed pipes are tuned to deliver a deep and resonant exhaust note that pairs beautifully with the car’s excellent acceleration and overall performance.
