Hmmnn, I think they stated it well; the 2015 will be the end of chapter 1 in the Q5's story. I bought the 2009 Q5 - when it came out in 09 and though there were performance, style and tech upgrades, most non Q5 owners would be hard pressed to tell the 09 from the 14.
I'm very curious what the '16 will be bringing us. I'm hoping that Audi has done their best at QUALITY CONTROL with the '16 as few things could be more disappointing than having this very eagerly anticipated SUV be plagued with "initial year intro" issues.

Default Reads like a horoscope to me...

A bunch of words all of which are logical--other than 3 wheelbases are somehow connected with 3 sizes of wheels, and maybe they imply they are the same??? But they don't really say much that in the end isn't generic to most vehicles, beyond just sprinkling a few model specific factoids into the copy. I could cut and paste most of the same copy for anything from a Hyundai to a Merc.

Looks like it was written in German and translated with Google Translator into English.

I think we can expect better electronics. I sat in the new A3 last weekend and was very impressed with the new MMI interface. Everything about it seemed nicer than our Q5.

I was not - my apologies if it came off that way. I guess sarcasm doesn't translate through forums!
