Kinda looks like a fisker karma from the front.

Same pics I posted several months ago from Auto Bild magazine. Probably the real deal, or very close.

I hope so - it looks great. What is the best guess on release date in the US? Fall of 2017 or not until 2018?

Hmm is it just me or am I seeing some Lincoln MKZ in the rear 3/4 view of the new A8?

Other than both having full width tail lights and being silver, I see very little resemblance.

As previously posted, delayed until Spring 2018 for U.S. launch---not a guess 👍🏻. Europe will get it sooner.

I quite like the front.
The butt looks a bit small, but no worse than the D4. I'd prefer a bigger butt like the D3.
That full-width taillight will look very cool at night.
Overall, I like it.

Roofline looks a bit lower, stance a bit wider and a modern update to the front grille. Handsome re-do in my opinion.

This is a concept and can and probably will change substantially change by the world premiere at an auto show. Don't get too attached or too critical as the case may be.
