A7 vs A6 - New to Audi and need advise
Hi all,
This is my 1st time with Audi and is looking into the A6, test drove the 2017 2.0T Premium Plus on the weekend, feel like need more power and 3.0T may do it.
Looking at the price for 3.0T Premium Plus A6, pricing is around $64k and comparing at the A7, with this price I can get a used A7.
I like the body style of the A7, I was looking around and found a used 2016 Prestige A7, 24k miles asking for $59k.
I'm debating if it's worthy to get a used 2016 A7 or a brand new 2017 A6 ?

The A5 sportback will be based on the B9 platform, s smaller car than the A6/A7. Also, in the U.S, it will apparently be available only with the 2.0T engine so it will not have more power than the 6 cyl 3.0T A6.

Correct. If and when Audi comes out with their buyback offers on the TDI's, the S5 sportback is currently at the top of my list for a replacement vehicle; although if like the VW buyback offer, we will have until sometime in 2018 to decide, I will hold on to my A6 and wait to see what the C8 A6's look like...who knows, they may be selling TDI's in the US again by then (wishful thinking probably).

If you can wait a a few more months, take a look at the S5 Sportback - it'll probably be in the same price range as the 3.0T A6, but with more power, sportier handling, and the couple-like styling of the A7.

The A7 is a beautiful vehicle with a unique body style and ours is always getting looks and compliments.
