I'm going to disagree with you on that and since you were so blunt with your opinion, I'll reciprocate;
IMO the b8 styling has a lot of personality and will hold up over time. I'm sure the 8.5 will hold up as well but it looks so boring, and those headlights look like every other car on the road these days. When a b8.5 drives by I hardly notice, and never give them a second glance.
Also as for the "B8.5 also worked out all the mechanical flaws that plagued the B8." - simply not true, the b8 wasnt "plagued" with problems for a start. The b8 did have some problems with the dsg in the early years and the b8.5 also had dsg problems. In fact, the 2012 b8 is considered the least problematic of the entire line.
