The reliability, performance, technology, design, all make it number one for me. And considering you're having a problem with your A7, I thought I would recommend a potential alternative.
You just bought a GS F Sport, may I ask why you are lurking on an Audi forum?

It is still a toyota! and really lexus does not compare technology wise with the germans. audi has the best all wheel (quattro) and better handling than the lexus, acceleration.

The current issue of Road & Track has a comparison test of the A7 and a Lexus GS 350 F Sport. I won't spoil the read by telling you who they picked.

And they pitted it against a nearly "base" A7...

Dan Neil's review in the WSJ today about sums up the GS350

"It's well known the company (Lexus) has redoubled its efforts to win over younger, more enthusiatic drivers. But that clock will have to start with some other car, because the GS350 seems to revel in, rather than reject, the worst Lexus cliches: soft, swollen, grandly indifferent to the road"

Road&Track got 4.7 seconds from 0-60 for the A7!

The Lexus GS350 F-sport handles like its on rails, the ride is a bit stiff but the handling is world class. In a recent Car and Driver comparo, the Gs350 beat the BMW 535i in handling.

Could you guys please move the Lexus GS 350 F Sport discussion to an appropriate forum? It has nothing to do with an A7 Fuel Injector Seal Leak!

I'm an automobile enthusiast. Just because I bought one car doesn't neglect the fact that I enjoy others. When you make it to the big leagues one day, you'll understand.

There is nothing wrong with being an automobile enthusiast. There is nothing wrong with enjoying and discussing other models.

But do it in the right forum, using the correct thread. This thread is to discuss a Fuel Injector Seal Leak issue of an A7.
