That's the first time I see a Q2 release date, all other articles mention end of the year in the US.

Hey guys I will be at the black tie charity preview even at the Detroit Auto Show this Friday. I will be sure to take some really nice photos of the new A7 and new A8.

In lieu of photos form Baloo588 this was a good read:

So I went to the charity preview and we had a great time though it was dissapointing that we could not even sit in both the new A7 and A8 for some reason and I am escalating this complaint with few other people to Audi headquarters because the corporate representative only opened the doors for us to see inside while the car was turning around on the turntable. She was rude and didnt care that customers paid a lot of money for the black tie event and are customers that are interested in higher end cars especially Audi A7 and A8 and if Audi wants to sell these they should be showing them off more. The interior is very advance and the pictures don't do justice. The link above has better interior pictures from the same car. The new generation A7 is a stunner and has more presence then the current A7 and even the CLS which we saw later that was a bit droopy in appearance. I am very happy they kept the same silhouette of the current A7 and made it wider a bit. I do however still love my facelift 2016 A7 and probably will add the new generation S7 or RS7 next year to the garage. The back end is really cool with the new spoiler being up. I had a picture of it but for some reason it was accidentally deleted so I added that from link above. The new A8l is very big and handsome looking and my father loves it and may replace his 2012 A8L with this one in a year or two fully loaded and better looking rims. I like how they made the new A8 look like the D3 with lower stance and sloping back compared to the chunkier current D4 A8.

Thanks for posting. Not in love with the front, but that rear is damn sexy.

I know that US dealers are headed to Germany next week to be trained on the new A7. Should have order info soon

Thanks @Baloo588 for the pics. Although I expected more of A7 pics, I think its fascinating. I skipped the 2018 model year to wait for the C8. I think its worth the wait now.
