The Detroit Auto Show just concluded and the 2015 A5 was on display in the new design.

The US won't get it until a year after the Euro markets do, so not until MY 2017 at the earliest.

Test drove an S5 yesterday and the salesman told me it was his understanding that the new model would arrive as a 2017.

First, why didn't you buy it? ;-)

Second, great news! My 2 year lease is up in January 2017.

Was about to put my deposit down for a '15 RS5, but dealer said the '16 specs will be coming out in 3 months. No chance to order a '15 Specs at that time. Risky. But since deployed and not home until August I think I'll wait and roll the dice hoping no drastic changes.

I doubt there will be a 06' RS5.

I suspect the Q5 will continue longer on the B8 platform because they have a backlog on orders - so the A4/A5 will get released first.

Remember the Q7 has not even been released here yet

You mean '16 RS5. '06 was a great year, and I wish I could go back there too but time moves on.

I predict a few changes for '16, but nothing substantial. I'm will to take the risk on waiting since I won't take delivery until August. Watch nothing change but a price increase....just my luck.
