Default 2015's on the floor

Dealer tells me we will see them this fall.

Lights confirmed to be 'standard' LED as opposed to matrix unless ruling is changed.

Since I have to order a new car in the next few weeks for a September/October delivery, I was hoping that they'd get some PI'd demo cars by now. With all the hub-bub regarding the 4.0T's hesitation issues coupled with no real 2015 MY A8 demo to see in the flesh, as well as the lack of matrix and sequential lighting, I'm seriously thinking about going in a different direction this time around---ending a 30 consecutive year run with the Audi brand (and 9 consecutive years with an A8). No final decision made yet, but it's going in that direction. Change can be good, I suppose---at least that's what my wife keeps hinting at (hopefully it's just a change in cars she's talking about!). :^)

15 a8s are at the port and should be released any day. Pricing came down as well this week.

Default Current 2015 order guide w/ the $

pp. 46-51 for the D4's. The D4's have the prices unlike most of the rest, another clue these are about to arrive sooner than the normal MY release.

Check out the new S Class. I have it and it is absolutely breathtaking.

Yes, I inspected one at my local dealer yesterday. The refresh gives the car a somewhat sportier/tighter exterior look which IMO better balances the car's proportions. To my eye makes it appear a bit smaller. Funny thing, on the ride home saw one on the road already.

Yeah, I've toyed with the idea, but probably not for me: just a tad too large and I'm seeing a gazillion of them in my area; not really exclusive in my neck of the woods. It's gonna be either an A8 or Panny 4S.
