Beautiful car inside and out. Is that the fine grain ash wood inlays? We have it in our Q5 (not as much of though) and really like the look of it.
Yes. I had originally insisted on no black interior and the dark walnut that is very shining. The Glacier white was important to me so I gave in on the interior and now I'm elated with it. That wood has some black in the grain and I think makes the black interior work. Kind of an "old money". Look to it.

I'm a fan of colors like Glacier White, Starfire Pearl, Mineral White Metallic (BMW), The little bit of pearl sets off the white just right.
Not a fan of hatchbacks, but Audi pulls this off very well. If they'd only add that beautiful kink in the d-pillar to all their model's greenhouses.
While this car is gorgeous, I would have struggled getting the pre-facelifted model which is now out in Europe. Did this weigh on you?

I have seen pics of it. The changes are very subtle and do nothing for me. And I'm really not a fan of rectangle exhaust tips.
Love the Exterior look of A7, hate the outdated interior. Too plain and just bland imo
I'm not really a fan of the center stack but it does actually look better in person. Most Audis (inside and out) don't look as good in pics, but it's like a whole experience you get when you are looking at it in person. (Not that I think you haven't ever seen an Audi in person, just my opinion and observation)

I have seen A5,A6,A7 in person. Didnot buy it because did not like the interior, and did not like the no excitment acceleration feel
I actually preferred this and the A6 to the GS, but Audis leases suck. Same MSRP and deal A6 would have been $200 a month more than the GS. Since you bought it you don't have to worry about that.
Awesome choice, I love these. I actually preferred this and the A6 to the GS, but Audis leases suck. Same MSRP and deal A6 would have been $200 a month more than the GS. Since you bought it you don't have to worry about that.
Exact reason why I'm not driving an A6. It was just out of my budget.
No, didn't get rid of our GS, I bought a new car to replace my BMW 550. My lease on it is up in four months, and I bought the A7, so it only costs a few months of insurance to have an extra car until my lease is up. I wanted to negotiate a deal now for a variety of reasons.
As the "5" series BMW, A6/A7, and GS are all pretty much competitors, I thought there might be some interest on this forum. I only have maybe 80 miles on the A7 including test drives, so it's too soon to really know a lot about how I'm going to like the car, but my impressions so far are very good. It has the refinement of the Lexus that I really like but with a little more performance. I'll try to make some comparisons on this thread over the next week or so.
I should say that while the 550 had some great strengths - such as the power (fantastic), comfortable seats and many features, it has some glaring faults. Drivability was not good. Throttle tip-in was not smooth at all and was really an issue for me in the stop and go driving I do commuting into Houston. Also, the suspension is very conflicted by the run flat tires. BMW also asks that you adjust to it's quirks. Its a shame because the car has many strong points. But the downsides were too noticeable in every day driving.
I love driving the GS (it's my wife's car) but wanted something with a little more responsiveness and I guess just didn't want to have two GS's in the garage. While the A7 ranks a little bit as stupid money when the A6 is pretty much the same car for a lot less, the A7 just really has a presence about it that I was will on spending stupid money for. Ahhh, the life of a gear head!
Glad to answer any questions.
Again, I would love you input on any possible road noise, the quality of the sound system and any other plusses/minuses vs. the GS. Thanks!
