It looks nothing like the A5 tho...:heh: I like the way the back window swoops downwards towards the rear... :whoo:

you asked for a coupe version, a coupe version woulkd just be an a5, the new A5' have the sleeks in the side of the car like that now.



makes me want to get another A7 :wow:

been looking at everything from M4's, corvettes to I8's lately for my 2nd car but I miss my A7 a little bit and this interior :wow:

Looking a little Volkswagen CC (now called Arteon) from this side profile.

The shyt with the lights and the rest of the technology is cool. But I think this is a step back in design to be honest.

Kind of reminds me of how Mercedes completed changed the game with the first CLS (ya, it looks dated now) and then released a dud as a follow up.

Im feeling it for the most part
I think the rear is a bit:patrice:
I really like how this gen looks from the rear

The touch screen looks cool. But i think they might’ve OD’d on that 2nd screen for climate control, ect...
Hopefully they drop the prices on the old joints when this is about to drop:ohlawd:

Ive always said bold about the CLS and even posted it in one of the threads.

As for the car it kinda reminds me of the new panamera with the screens inside. It looks the same mostly with updated lights IMO. I'm pretty sure in person you'd see a little more difference but it looks more refresh than redesigned to me.

a7 interior was lack luster before, this looks good though. 2019 though? Is that a typo? You mean 2018 ? or is this really teh 2019 version
That's on a case by case basis regarding interior because a lot of people liked the interior esp when it first came out.

What you trying to get them for used Camry prices? You can get an A7 with decent miles for about 40k which is a nice amount off what people were copping for a few years ago. Some people I know copped when they first dropped and they spent damn near double for them.

i've had a '13 A7 for the last 3+ years and most of the newer audi designs across are not jiving with me including this one (save for the interior which I like). Alot of flash and I'm not sure if all the functionality of the lights will be allowed in north america. i'll reserve final judgment until I see an s7 or rs7, but if they are this underwhelming, then on my next whip, i'm making the switch to a panamera or 8-series depending on how final production model looks. Maybe an m5. Ultimately, I'd want an r8, but that is out of my price range, at least for the new body/generation.

How the a7 in terms of reliability?
Im thinking about getting a 2014/15 in the next year. I also like the a5 sportsback. But i think the a7 looks better

I did well up until I hit 40k miles save for tires which are expensive. I've had bad luck on these Houston highways and have had to have windshield replaced twice from rock chips which insurance took care of. Currently around 48k miles. I've had to replace water pump (was thankfully under extended warranty and i didn't pay anything for parts or labor), but then had to replace thermostat around 1 month ago which was $1300 out of pocket. Tires are also expensive as noted. Really, anything on the car is expensive as foreigns tend to be, so make sure you have cash to pay for unexpected stuff. Otherwise, it is fun to drive, but I'd go for a '15 or '16 so you'll have less miles and more time left on warranty assuming you're buying CPO. Biggest thing I regret is not spending the extra 15-20k and getting an s7.
