Default Independent auto press news stories on D5

See:

First Look: (Almost) Autonomous 2018 Audi A8 | TheDetroitBureau.com

and

2019 Audi A8 sedan revealed (Autoweek)

The detroit bureau one was maybe a notch deeper, but I appreciated that they bring some objectivity and experience to it. The launch stuff today seemed like it needed decoding to regular speak. I went looking for the actual Audi text based press release without all the multimedia hype (it's on the Audi corporate site), but found mostly a sea of adjectives, superlatives and spin and not a lot of new information. They even worked in the word "superlative," which is about when I stopped reading. Meantime these stories helped. Hopefully others get written in coming days from some other experienced/trusted outlets.

I can't wait for the redesign. Sadly that's many years away from now. For the first time in twenty years, I don't like Audis styling for 2018.

Aah, it'll grow on you...Just like the D4 grew on most of the folks that said they hated it when it was first introduced :-).
