Default Got a thumbs-up from another driver

Today while driving home a good-looking girl in her early 20's in a Honda Accord got next to my car and rolled down the window. She gave me a thumbs up and said something that I couldn't hear because my windows were up.

I thought that was interesting. This car certainly draws a lot of attention.

I have had mine since April and have had a number of people ask me about the car at stoplights and such. One guy in an older A6 did a U-turn on a street in my neighborhood to catch up to me and tell me he thought the car was awesome. More looks than I get in the Z06, even when that one was new.

I posted previously that we had a new A6 on order for my wife. When we went to drive the demo that showed up the other day, we saw the A7 in the flesh for the first time.


It is stunning in person. Pics just dont do it justice. For a few $k more than the A6, it is definitely worth it purely for the looks.

At the end of the day our heavily optioned A6 in the mid $60k pricepoint still just looked like a $40k sedan and we couldnt get past the fact that the rear just looked too much like the new Jetta/Passats.


The A7 looks like something special. Other than the R8, its the second nicest car they make.

Also today while driving back home I saw a BMW 6 series driver behind me taking photos of my car. LOL!

I've received thumbs up from BMW drivers. Got a compliment from a Porsche driver, police officers and other Audi owners. The A7 is definitely a head turner
