Default Did not see this coming at all

When the D4 came out I thought it was OK exterior and interior wise. There were aesthetics that were certainly more refined, the technology obviously nicely updated, but also many of the tweaks and stylistic choices were just not flattering IMO.

With that said, I sure as hell was not expecting to like the D5 as much as I do.

It captures everything I loved about the D3 and improves it more than I ever imagined. They really cranked the exterior refinement and interior tech Feng Shui up to 11 with the D5.

Bravo Audi.

Guess I'll have to be "brave" one, but only after I take delivery this coming Spring---maybe, perhaps, potentially...
