Watched some of the Audi live videos. It's an interesting evolutionary design. Really like the interior design/tech obviously (based on other new Audi model releases, which were expected). Was hoping for a more aggressive exterior design...but hopefully the SQ5 adds will bring that?

Pretty much what I expected it to look like.

2 L TFSI, three different 2L TDIs (150, 163 и 190 hp) and 3L TDI for launch, which means that only 2 L TFSI is likely to make it here to Canada/US.
Quattro ultra except for 3L TDI - permanent AWD is available there. 6 gear manual or 7 speed s-tronic. All the internal goodies are there as expected.
On sale in Europe at the beginning of 2017.

Looks good, but they'll need a 3.0T or SQ5 with real Quattro if they want me to upgrade.

Probably a small thing to a lot of people but what's up with still having the hump in the floor in the back seat? C'mon it's 2017. Car manufacturers found out years ago how to eliminate that hump. Just detracts from the modernization of the vehicle. Just was hoping they would do away with that with the new redesign.

Otherwise looks really nice.

The hump forms the tunnel for the drive shaft in AWD and RWD cars. There's no way to delete that hump unless you go for a FWD vehicle.

Or raise the entire frame such that drive shaft would go under the floor. But I suspect this (raising) will annoy a lot more people.

There is a picture that shows rear suspension with the Quattro Ultra rear differential and one with the Quattro sport rear differential....
