Top Gear Magazine: "Boring AND ugly"
They gave it a whole two paragraphs of comments, which means they probably haven't given it a proper test. Just voicing their opinion on looks. Of course they put the least flattering photo in the mag -- the front three quarter view of the black S5.
In case we we didn't get the point they also called it a "Minger" which our UK friends know also means ugly... jeez we get it!
I like that they don't mince words though, even if I disagree with them on the styling. Again, just press that should be taken as one person's opinion and promptly ignored.

They're entitled to not like it. No big deal.
For example, I personally think the BMW Z4 is one of the UGLIEST cars I have ever laid eyes on. If I wrote a review of the car I would no doubt mention that.
Trust me, when the S5 hits the streets here in the US in the fall, it will get a lot of looks and praise. It looks so much better in motion than in flat photos.
I say bring on the hate! I don't want to see an S5 on every block.

I don't recall TG ever liking many Audis. They think Jags and Astons are the only good cars.
As much as I LOVE the show TG, I consider it a comedy show (never read the magazine), and it really has very little automotive editorial legitamacy. We should focus on what Autoweek, C&D, R&T say about the A5.
Top Gear show as an automotive editorial is like John Steward to CNN. Oh wait, I take that back; John Steward is more informed/itelligent than any CNN/Fox newscast.
