Default Changed my A6 order to an A7

The wife and I had an A6 on order and went to drive the demo yesterday. After the ride (which was great) we started looking at some A7's just to look at the different ext/interior color combos.

After seeing the A7 in the flesh we were both in awe. Until you actually stand next to one, you just cant appreciate it from the photos.


We had our order changed today to an A7! We're both very excited about the car as it just feels/looks so much more special than the A6.


We went with:
Prestige
20" Sport package
Audi side assist
Cold weather pkg

Colors:
Oolong gray
Nougat brown
Natural brown wood inlays
Black headliner cloth

cloth

More so than any vehicle I have seen, photos do not do the A7 justice. It is much more dramatic in person.

Added the LED's to our order yesterday.


I had originally seen pictures of aquarian's car. He has the Prestige + 20" wheels and I thought the Xenon headlights didnt look much different than the LED's.


Turns out his car does have LEDs (he didnt even realize) and he didnt pay for them (no Innovation or LED pkg).


For those curious the two headlights are below...

The xenon's have the xenon bulb on the outside, halogen (high beam? fog?) on the inside with halogen turn signal above it. There is a strip of LED DRL's along the bottom.


The LED's have the LED DRL's along the bottom but the "swoosh" is higher. Underneath the LED DRL's, there is a second strip of LED's which are the turn signals. There are 3 LED driving light housings in the middle (high beam, low, low/fog).
