Re: New Audi A7 Thread (Spy pics & info)

I hate to admit it but certain factions of the media will compare this with the BMW Progressive Activity Sedan (Because they are idiots , Well some of them are) Wimmer goes for the jugular on Autospies commentators which was quite inspiring .

But you do see a similarity in the shape and with the PAS Concept car some minor details such as exclusive Chrome Shadow Paint and detail in the light fixtures and big 20" wheels the same amount of window dressing to disguise the concept from the Production car .

The PAS flown in from Namibia for BMW closed preview tomorrow at the NAIS and then back on a Lufthansa 747 Cargo plane for Frankfurt and then trucked back to Munich.

The question is now Audi have shown their hand, have they completely shown up the Panamera?

Re: New Audi A7 Thread (Spy pics & info)

Superb front & interior, good rear but the side profile is a let down, although the idea behind it had potential, the execution is flawed because of the roof line wich is way too round in its first part, the glass area could also have been better designed and i understand very much why scott is hinting at the pas.

No.

PAG/VAG are incredibally stretegic in their line-up and the hirarcy goes like this:

Royale(potential Bugatti four door coupe)
Panamera
A7
Passat CC

The Panamera is giant step ahead of the A7 with attributes like Ceramic brakes, reclining rear seats, state of the art expandable rear wing, 500hp engine at debut, custom leather options and LED head lights. Given how more premium the Porsche is the A7 will be for people who can afford a fully loaded E500 while the Panamera will attract those with enough money to deck out an Audi S8.

Audi Sportback Concept







Quote:
Audi's hotly-anticipated A7 will bow in conceptual form at tomorrow's North American International Auto Show, and we have the first leaked images of the showcar, dubbed "Sportback." Details at this point remain slim, but as you can see from the photos, all of the major Audi design cues are in play, including a more nuanced version of the brand's horsecollar grille and LED eyelash headlamps.

Re: New Audi A7 Thread (Spy pics & info)

^yep i agree..very similar..

Still the lambo looks better (no wonder though)

But to rate it amongst these latest 4 door coupes..i must say

1.Estoque
2.A7
3.Panamera
4.Rapide

PS
Not just cause im a MB fan, but i think in 2010 MB will show the industry AGAIn how to make a proper 4 door coupe

The front looks hot.

The back looks hot.

The rear 3/4 looks terrible.

The side profile looks horrible.

3/5 stars.
