Those new wheels are ugly, hopefully there will be some other wheel choices for the US. Did they upgrade the MMI to 4G?

Hard to know if they will do a 2015.5 model for the US, maybe they will go with an early release 2016 model.

I see on another thread now - that they have LTE in the refresh.

People who ordered a A7 recently will get a 2015 model but not the same car that will soon be available in Europe, correct ?
It happens all the time with Audi. Most new Euro models and some refreshes are often updated ahead of North America. You can bet the C8, whenever it's introduced, will be released a year earlier in Europe. For example, the US B8 A4 was first intro'd as a MY2009 vs a year earlier for Europe as a MY2008. Same with the C7 A6 - intro'd in Europe as MY2011 and a year later in the NAR as a MY2012.

I like and am excited by the refresh. I was hoping that the virtual cockpit model displayed for the TT would possibly make it to the refresh though. I'd like to play around with that tech. Anyone familiar with the new color options? Read in a few articles that there were some additions. Not sure if they are interior/exterior or additions to both.

In this Audi A7 video you see a nav screen between the tach and speedometer. Check it out.

Audi A7 Sportback and S7 Sportback - YouTube
I did catch that. I assumed that was present on the existing model for some reason. I thought that because I saw that feature on an existing A8 model I drove. Wondering if this one is more intuitive though. One other thing I forgot to mention was the fog lights. Was kind of hoping they'd play around with the fog lights they currently have on the A5 on this model A7. Never really been a fan of the circular lamps. I should be heading to my local dealer in a few hours though so any updates I may come to learn ill be sure to share here.

.....they're not fog lamps. The round openings house the radar sensors for the adaptive cruise control.

The A7 has been out for almost 3 years (or more) and they are still constantly being mistaken for log lamps.....

That new system is in the Huracan, there are some issues with it:

At my current Audi dealer in Houston looking at A7. According the sales person I'm speaking too, he's not seeing any changes for the 2015 on his summary sheet. Any word from any of your local dealers on if the u.s 2015 will receive the refresh?

I was at western Washington Audi dealer yesterday and got the same information. The sales guy promised me to keep me updated when he gets more information on face lift A7
