I am new to the forum and shopping for 2018 A5 Sportbacks. I'm impressed with the car, both new and pre-owned. The question I have is does anyone know what "minor" changes Audi plans for the sophomore year of the car? I don't want to break my rule of never buying the first year version of a new model, but I really like it. Also, when does Audi normally release the 2019 models, early first quarter?

I have read about the RS5 but can't really consider that one, although I would like to.

Thanks.
