My only concern is that I will be comparing my new S5 in 2015 to the newly designed 2016 and regret not waiting for it.

The 2016 S5 will be a facelift, not a re-design. The all new, re-designed S5 will come out as model year 2019.

buy the 2014 one, and then lease it for 3 years and get the 2017 redesign after the 2016 knocks the bugs out.

If there is a 2017 TTS Roadster with a six speed, that's my plan.

Look at the difference between the 2014 A8 and 2015 and you will probably get a feel for the differences you'll see in the 5's. One thing I would hate is if the interior is changed and they go to a pop-up nav like in other Audis. I hate them.

I think you can pretty much plan on a major re design in MY 2016--which is 8 years after the S5's first design/introduction. Seems like Audi pretty much runs each design/body for 8 MY's
The 2013 is the facelift MY with 2014 and 2015 being minor refinements.

I'll be in the market for a new car early to mid 2016. Decided to make the leap from my Q5 to the new S5 at that point. It helps to be patient & of course still enjoying my Q at 275,000km
