New to the board
Just picked up the new toy last night. Coming from an 2012 Audi A7, so a big change but loved the design and the technology. Was searching for a loaded car and this one had just come off the boat. The only option it was missing for me was wheels. Will be changing the 18's out for something larger shortly. Since there were plenty of pics of similar cars on here but none (that I'm aware of) of the interior combo, only posting those pics.
Details: Selenite, Sport, P3, Designo Black/Titanium Grey, Piano Black Flowing Lines, 18".

Very nice! 
Yeah, I love the diamond stitched designo interiors. Based on the Edition 1 E63 S that was unveiled at the LA Auto Show this month, I'm worried that they won't be offering a designo interior with diamond stitching on the E63 S.

The best way to describe it is different. Not bad, just different. First, the car overall has a completely different feel. The A7 is big and "solid" as it goes down the road and I always felt the presence of the larger back end. The E300 feels more "nimble". While it's not a sports car, it feels like one compared to the A7. In terms of engine, the acceleration is fine. My first time on the interstate with the e300 I was over 80 before I realized it. The A7 could beat it 70-100, but thats fine. It may keep me out of trouble. I also have an SLC 43 AMG if I'm in the mood to rocket.
My only complaint on the smaller engine is the sound but I'm sure I will get used to it. When i was looking to switch cars I considered another A7 but Audi hasn't significantly changed it since 12 when I bought it so I'd just be swapping cars. I came very close to pulling the trigger on a CLS 550 which was a great vehicle but was starting to look dated (in my opinion). In the end, the interior and tech on the E300 won me over. It was time to try something new. Love the car. May consider moving up to E63 when it comes out (looked in to ordering an E43 but the price differential didn't seem worth it).
