I got an offer from AoA to help me upgrade to a newer model. Is it worth getting a 2014 or should I wait for the 2015 at this point? I heard there is an update for the 2015 model-year. The offer is only for 6mo, so I'm not sure if I'd make the 2015 cut-off. Any ideas?

I wonder if they'll even have 2015 models this year? Does anyone have any info on this? From Motor Authority:

"As this is only a mild update, we’re likely to see the car revealed by the end of the year, which means it may make it into U.S. showrooms during the 2015 model year."

I was having the same dilemma, so I got a connection to Audi head office (in Canada) and got the following info:

"I have inquired to Audi in regards to your inquiry about the A7 TDI. I am told the 2014 and 2015 models will be no different. It is the 2016 Model Year which will experience a facelift (updated headlights, bumper and trim). Also, at this time, Audi AG is not forecasting the Audi Connect to arrive in Canada within the next two to three years."

Very useful info - thank you!

I would love to hear if anyone else has reliable info on this from a US source. I ordered a Quartz Gray Prestige A7 w/ 20" sport, full led and drivers assist.(per my wife's request) which is due in April. I can always dump my deposit if 2015 turns up w/ significant changes, although really only engine or MMI upgrades would be worth that consideration. My oldest turns 16 at the end on March so I get a birthday present and he gets my old ride:-)

This info actually came from Germany, they say that the 2015 model is not any different from the 2014 regardless of the country of destination.

I thought the 2015 models would receive the refreshed mmi system.

The 2015 A3 has the next generation technology with 4 LTE. I briefly sat in a 2015 a3 with the Audi connect and loved how fast and more seemless the technology was.

So it'll be a shame if a 40k 2015 A3 has a better nav system than a 2015 A7 that's 75k

Can you share any details on this - does it involve a larger trade on an owned vehicle, or forgiveness of lease payments with Audi Financial Services?

The spy shots seem to show a preproduction car pretty far ahead to be a 2016 model and not a 2015.

Looks like Audi broke down and is copying the lexus LS exhaust like everyone else.
