I'm glad I'm not alone with these annoyances. I literally just picked up a brand new 14 edge sport 1/2/15 (had 2 miles on it and has like 350 now) for the same reasons. I came from a 2011 Audi s4 and with a little one on the way it just made sense to get rid of it and into an SUV. I've been a log time loyal Audi customer but I couldn't justify 65-70k for the SQ5 and I wouldn't be caught dead in a regular Q5. I've always thought the edge sport was nice looking and for a savings a literally 20k+ I decided to take a chance with the sport. I like most everything about the edge so far minus the lack of all windows being 1 touch, lack of full power passenger seat, lack of HID's and non auto dimming side mirrors.
I'd be curious how you feel about the X5. Is it the X5M?
