The new 2010 Audi A5 and S5 Cabriolet open-top luxury GT convertibles have been announced, and when it comes to the S5, we like what we see. Offering a new Audi motor that will make its way into the S5 Coupe as well, the 2010 S5 Cabriolet should be good for some serious wind-in-your-hair thrill rides.

Bucking a Trend - Audi S5 Cabriolet With a Soft Top

While some convertible competitors to the 2010 Audi S5 Cabriolet, such as models from Mercedes-Benz, have gone toward the hard top method for their convertibles, the Audi S5 retains the soft top. We think it gives the S5 Cabriolet a certain degree of distinction not found in hard top convertible models, which often show jagged breaks in their lines where the top folds. The S5 Cabriolet convertible top looks clean as can be, and right in place when raised.

Better still, the S5 top folds into a literally tiny amount of space when it is lowered, using only a tiny fraction of the trunk space and leaving behind 11.3 cubic feet of trunk space. Audi has incorporated 60/40 split folding rear seats into the S5 Cabriolet, giving it an even greater degree of utility.
