Around the Boston area the A7 is still pretty rare which I like (compared to A6, E350, 535, etc.), however there are currently more A7's than Macans because the Porsche has only been out a year or so. Both cars don't ship in huge volumes.

I just hope they don't start offering a 4 cylinder version of the Macan in the US because then there would be one in every Starbucks, Whole Foods, and Yoga Studio in town.

That's why Audi offers the SQ5.

Anyone moved from an A7 to a Telsa Model S (or thought about it)?

The P85D has a Ludicrous Speed Option that goes 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.

Style is always subjective - but design is very similar to A7 with the hatch.

I am planning on scheduling a test drive soon.

I test drove the P85+ whilst researching my new car. I like the exterior styling, there is a huge amount of space inside and the infotainment system was pretty cool. The fittings were flimsy and cheap feeling,seats were poor, performance as said was great, but the limitations offered by an electric car didn't suit my travelling needs.
I then test drove a RS7.

Guess which one I bought !

Thanks for your thoughts. The RS7 certainly is a great choice!

In regards to traveling needs - the Telsa works for me in that the vast majority of my driving is well covered by the ~250 mile range. I also have 2 other cars for longer trips.

I also think the new Model S has an seat upgrade option based on their website.

The Quattroporte nice but is sure rowdy. 7AM every Saturday morning, coffee and donut.

I'm thinking of keeping the S7 for the long hauls and a slightly used 911 for my Krispy Kreme runs.

Each line down commensurate with promotion




I drive a Q7, and I'll let you in on a dirty secret: I'm in love with the A7.

Any day, all day... if you put the Macan and A7 side by side... the A7 steals the show... this is a no contest

I considered the Quattroporte S but RWD (living in MI), the interior and the price (considering the Ghibli S Q4) kind of steered me away.
