Very nicely done video for the bike. I don't have a need for an aerodynamic bike as I am not too aerodynamic myself 
Nevertheless it is a very cool looking frame

So... save up and buy one.
I'm in the process of buying my "dream" bike and just about ready to pull the trigger.
As long as you can afford it... do it.

Nice Bike
The rear seat stays and front brakes behind the fork reminds me of the Giant Propel.
Both bikes suffer from logo-itis for my taste, but I would like to ride a Giant Propel and would buy it on the spot
if I liked it.
Here is the Propel:

According to the test result in the video, it looks like the Cervelo S5 beat it in the windtunnel (at least from the very front anyway).

Yea but I've never seen a Cervelo showcased in such an awesome video like that. Awesome product video > wind tunnel results. How much is that bike? Might have send Santa an email this year..

A talking bike? I don't know if I could get behind that. It would probably start nagging me every time it wanted to go for a ride. I'm married so I've pretty much got that covered already.

Argon is a noble gas but it's also heavier than air so is the bike royally slow? 
Nice bike! After you buy it, give us a ride report.

Wanted one myself, but no one here carries it or don't have it. Bought an S3 instead.

I really like it as well, wish the head tube was a bit taller though. I also wish I was a bit more flexible so that I didn't wish the head tube was taller. The size small has too long of a top tube for me and the size extra small has too low of a head tube for me. For my money I'd probably end up on a Felt AR1.

In the wind
Argon 18 is a pretty popular brand around here, maybe because Canadian? I dunno, but have to agree that is a cool bike.

That's a pretty slick frame they have there. I have both a 2012 and 2014 Krypton from them and love them both.

I don't understand buying a multi $1000 bicycle based on looks.
if you want aero, the s5 has got this bike beat. it's pretty much a tt bike with a road handlebar and seat moved back a few cm.

Cervelo s5 aero superiority in the noise. But for my aesthetic sensibility, this thing is awesome.
