they report it as the next A8....it could be the next A7?

Audi has not confirmed officially - just autoblog reporting what they believe this looks to be.

All their sedans look identical so I already know what it will look like. To their credit at least they are pretty good looking.

Mmmmm Audis are so nice looking-- Even just seeing those LEDs and shape, I'd be willing to bet that just like the current A8/S8, I'll droooool over this one too hehe Mmmmm Audi

Do people buy A8's????? They are a rare bird. For the money I think the better choice by far is the Benz. If I am going to pay 100k for a german luxury car I want a Mercedes S class

That has got to be the LEAST useful teaser pic I've ever seen ... we don't even know for sure that there's a car under there!

A8 is one of the best, I8. You should go sit in one with the suede headliner...yum yum.

And the A8 is price between the MB s-class and a loaded E-class. I agree with FKL, before making any comment, one should really test drive one. Its one heck of a car, every bit as nice as a S-class but $15000 less.

A8 is an excellent alternative to the S Class, I think Audi combines sport/luxury better than BMW.
