Any D5s spotted in the wild?

Was thinking the same thing...Have not seen any D5’s on the road. You’d think that being in New York City and Eastern Long Island I’d have seen at least one!!! My dealer currently has 4 in stock as of today, Think they’ve sold only one since the D5 went on sale last Fall. Perhaps the wait is on for a V8 and soon to be announced A8 e-Tron versions for many potential buyers. But yeah, where are the pics for the folks that have taken D5 delivery?

Overall layout was just fine, easy to settle in compared to the 2017 A8L 4.0l I currently have as a daily driver. Ride was quieter, but I felt like it floated a little compared to my current ride given my car has 21" wheels, this one had 19" or maybe 20". Initially, I didn't really think about the setup (dynamic, comfort, etc) but pickup was a little less than my car and since the feel was softer, prompting me to confirmed I was in dynamic rather than comfort (I generally keep mine in comfort). I'd rather wait for the v8 before making a model change. Infotainment is far superior to the D4, the system and settings were easy to get used to, feedback was acceptable. Took a little getting used to the gear selector positioning for reverse and park, but that's easily remedied with more seat time and muscle memory. All in all, fine, but the power just seemed lacking regardless of which setting I was in and the ride was a little soft form my preference.
