Default Audi A7L

If there's one vehicle that represents bizarre, counterintuitive Chinese market tastes, this is it.

Wow, I actually like it.
It makes it look more sedan-like with a traditional square trunk.
I also like the C-pillar styling more too.
Just me only, but I've never been a fan of Audi's fastbacks.

So a longer A7 without the lift back.... in the U.S. we'd call that an A8! But I guess the "frameless" door glass keeps it different.

Having not accepted the soft hatchback trend of late, I love this! Wish it were an offering here.
I still think the last gen A7 was sharper than the current.

Amazing, they've made an ES300 for quadruple the price.

I like the green car, it has nice proportions, looks better then the A7 and A8 in my opinion. Nice to see something like this over another dumpy CUV.

Yes, that's the standard A7 liftback.

Looks cool, but if I really wanted to ride in the back I'd just buy the more squared off A8L. More room, bigger windows, would just be a nicer place to sit in the back seat IMO. Still love the hatchback A7 we get in the states but I wouldn't want to ride in the back on a road trip.
