42, male, Orlando, FL. Also coming from BMW. Much smoother than my ex 500HP M5. Not to mention the gas mileage. I can go from A to B in a much comfortable ride for 1/2 price. Couldn't be happier.

45, Holland Michigan......it's the coolest car out with the best technology and style....totally age appropriate for a 20 something on up....it's less about your age and more about if you "get it" and appreciate the better things...I bet everyone who owns one also has an ipad among other apple products.

47 UK
Was going to buy another A5 and then priced it up with all the options I wanted and got a shock. A7 (in the UK at least) comes as standard with everything I want in a car so was really not that much more money over the A5 (though of course I still added extras :-) for a much more modern hi-tech car and different looking car. Plus I did not care too much for the A5 facelift.

48 Portland, OR. Fell in love when I first saw a few last May in France. Came into a bit of money and staring thinking my existing daily driver (2000 Jaguar VDP SC) was getting a bit long in the tooth and one thing led to another.
Can't wait for it to arrive May 5.

49, Daytona Gray loaded. except for B&O. I had an A8 short wheel base with the 20" sport package. The new A8's are a little less sporty looking and more conservative. They also went up market in price, so the A7 had the right balance of sport, luxury and price. It is more of a personal business car for me that gets driven Monday through Friday only.

It doesn't come without trepidations though. Audi is not known for reliability where both the Lexus & Honda were trouble free. But, if you can fall for a car emotionally we both did, so we jump in with both feet & hope for the best. And with that, I wish you all the best too.

I think the "quality gap" has narrowed quite a bit. 20 years ago Lexus, due to the existing Toyota culture instilled by W. Edward Deming's teachings, and their desire to take everything to the next level, was way ahead. Now, the differences, while real, are much smaller when you look at the top Japanese and German manufacturers.

Pick it up in 2 days!
Trading in my 2010 A5: wanted the utility of 4 doors and a hatchback, sporty performance, clean coupe design, and tech. Also like having a unique car...don't see a whole lot of them.
Plus, my kids are just getting too big to climb in and out of the back seats of the A5.
