I ordered my 2016 S7 yesterday!

I currently have a 2013 A7, so I'm very familiar with the car.

The S7 will be Misano Red, black interior and headliner, carbon atlas inlay, 20" 5-parallel spoke wheels, and power closing doors. The new S7 comes with a flat-bottom steering wheel by the way.

My dealership says it should arrive in late March/early April.

Nice decision on your part. Did you trade your A7 into the dealer? I am asking because I have an A7 and was considering the same

I'm currently leasing my A7. By the time the new car arrives, I should be near the end of my lease period, and I'll be turning the car back in.

Congrats! I went a similar route 2012 A7 -> 2016 S6 (with a Porsche Macan in between for a few months). Hoping for a March delivery.

What made you go with the carbon atlas vs. the wood/alumn. combo? I'm still on the fence about interior trim.

I'm placing my order for a S6 this Friday. Came to a verbal deal with the dealer last night.

I'll be getting the layered aluminum/black wood in mine. I just think it's more interesting than the carbon fiber, like speed lines but inside your car.

Anyway, You can get CF trim on anything. The layered wood is unique.

Yup, that's what I'm thinking as well. No info on pricing, right? I can sort-of ball park almost all the options except the sports package where people have given me prices anywhere from $1,500 to $5,500.

I've never been a big fan of the aluminum trim, and the wood seemed to feel more appropriate as a luxury statement, versus the persona of an S. Carbon atlas seems to be more sporty, and would be a better match for the Misano red exterior and black interior.

By the way, congrats on the S6. My dealer had an S6 on the lot. Black on black with the carbon atlas trim, and it was beautiful. Helped me make up my mind.

The layered wood combined with the stitching of the seats just looks overkill to me. But to each his own, right?! LOL! Congrats again.

amelen

Yeah, the aluminum made the interior look very cheap to my eye (for such an expensive car). The wood wasn't bad - I had it in my A7 with brown seats. But it didn't really fit in with the sporty looking interior. I'd still like to see carbon atlas & layered wood in person, but I'm currently leaning towards the layered wood:
