What did you think about the look of the facelift A7???

I am getting ready to order an S7 - this pic is an A7 S-Line model (if side badge tells that story) I love the facelift! I loved the 2015 too but I like the more angular light housings and LEDs front and back. The interior is fantastic as well. The 20s are nice as well but I would still opt for the slightly less aggressive 19.5s to get a little less jarring ride overall - wife and I are in our 60s
Love it.

The audiusa build for the a7 just got the 2016 overhaul. btw... isn't it annoying that audi doesn't change the pictures as you are building? you just have to guess what the the different seats in a certain color are going to look like? The interior picture is also from the european model interior? come on audi!!! They build this beautiful, glorious machine, yet no one knows how to take pictures? lol still a welcomed update....

I'm not sure if any lots have the TDI in yet though...

Audiusa are lazy bunch of idiots when they come to update the audiusa.com as always. They have no idea or clue how to do this compared to the other corporate market.

I still haven't had the chance to swing by the dealer. This photo was sent to me by the SA.

I'm curious about the TDIs as well since I have one on order. All the listings I've seen for 2016s in transit on dealer sites all appear to be TFSIs so far.

I drove a 2016 A7 Prestige this afternoon with the W-Design 20" wheels. I anticipated the ride to be slightly hard due to the 20" wheels but I came away impressed. I read somewhere that all 2016 Audi models would have Apple CarPlay but I can confirm this is not the case. The dealer stated that they might have it later in the year.

Later as in later models may have this feature or would this possible be a mmi update?

I thought my car rode fine with 20s on the test drive. But I found out that it handles bumps fine, but not washboard surfaces like a concrete freeway with constant ripples in the concrete. Then it gets uncomfortably jiggly. I suggest an extended test drive on roads you drive a lot. I'd get 19s next time and I'm very likely to change mine soon.

Thanks for the advice Jim. I plan on a second test drive this weekend before I move forward.
