Normal package, and you can see the exhaust tips here: https://m.atcdn.co.uk/a/media/cc5acf...d201d1c167.jpg

Sport package, and you can still see the exhaust tips facing downwards towards the ground:

actually not.
it gives you the quad exhaust pipes through the exhaust ports if you get the sports package. However, the sports package for the exhaust to show through the exhaust port is only offered in Europe.
not in the US.
The sports package offered in the US is the 20 inch wheels.

Quad exhaust pipes facing downward on the US sport package.

I think we are saying the same thing. The post that you quoted that I made was taken from a European model with the Sports package, and it too had exhaust that faced towards the ground and had the fake exhaust pipes as well.

It would appear only the S8 will have real exhaust

At least when @derfA8L buys the S8 we can all look on with jealousy

I agree and they dont offer it in Canada either.
I like my cars with exhaust pipes.
Especially, when I pay a lot for a car.
Reason I kept my leased car.

Did I wake up from my holiday nap in an alternate universe??? LOL...No, likely it’ll be an A8L with the 4.0 V8–the “poor man’s” S8. Ha!

Or, perhaps, the e-tron GT ;-) Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays y’all!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you (and everyone here) too! Am looking forward to reading your post telling us you've placed your order for your D5!

Hopefully 2019 brings us all positive ownership experience with the D5....oh who am I kidding? We all know how this is going to go

Vehicle order gets placed on July 10th. Mark it on your calendar 😉

Wow! I'm guessing it's when your lease ends or something as that's a very precise date! That said, you're probably getting a MY20 model, right? I would think all MY19 model build slots are gone by then?

Are you waiting for the predictive suspension if I may ask?

Current D4 lease ends tail end of November. Yes, will be a 2020 MY. Placing a July order sets a build slot that usually gets the car to my dealer sometime in October, early November—Usually. Last time that almost didn’t work and my dealer had to trade for another dealer’s allocation to get my car built. Not sure if I’ll be ordering the Predictive Active Suspension. Depends on cost, since I don’t consider it a “must have” option. The D5’s new standard Active Air Suspension offers considerable improvement over my 2015 D4’s ride quality, so I’m not sure how much more benefit the Predictive setup offers for my real world driving situation. Will consider it, but...
