Default A7 to S7

Would you and how quickly would you trade your A7 for an S7 when available? Would the increase in HP and slightly more aggressive styling be enough to make you switch?

Never thought I'd say it but I'll probably switch next year.

I absolutely love my A7, but the S7 is not worth the extra 20k, IMHO

I've been waiting and here's why..

1. Interior sport seats, styling, Carbon inlays, aluminum pedals, etc.
2. S-Tronic (DSG) gearshift
3. Torque Vectoring
4. Increased HP - with pretty good economy (cylinder on demand).
5. Increased Torque (405-407?)
6. Exclusivity
7. V8 growl

I'm not sure it will be a 20k difference apples to apples fully loaded. I'm guessing 10-15k, but the 10-15k is on top of the full price of an optioned out prestige A7.

I'm guessing about $85-87k. Old '11 S6 was $76k as a point of reference, I'm adding a grand or two for inflation and then $8000-9000 for the 7 over the 6. Pure speculation.

I'd say 15k difference is about right for s7.

In Germany, the price difference from A7 3.0 to S7 is about €20k (€59 to €79), so $20-25k for US sounds about right.

If I'd live in Germany, I'd consider switching since I could use that extra power on the Autobahn, but here, there's no point to me.

A friend is on his last legs, he may not make it through the night.

I'm reminded to be grateful and that the grass isn't always greener. That I can lust after things, always want...more. But that in the end, it just doesn't matter.

Less is more.

And on that note, no, I'm not "trading up".
