Automobile Magazine is currently conducting a similar long term ("Four Seasons") test on the A7 and it's also a pretty good read!

I have read these long term reviews before and found them interesting.

One thing I find unusual is the 0-60 times. Audi's US website lists the A7 time as 5.4, however, R&T has it clocked at 4.7.

I can understand a few tenths of a second here or there based on the driver, load, tires, track, launch, etc. - but there is a huge .7 difference!

Automobile's long term test A7 was stolen in November.

Oh damn, the last update I read was the October entry. Just read the November entry... What an unfortunate conclusion to the test.

Not NYC, it was stolen from Rockland County, NY which is a suburb approximately 30 miles north of NYC. Don't want NYC getting a bad rap.

I wonder how it was stolen. I would have thought our cars would be a tough steal.

Audi has been under rating the horsepower for many of their models. A dyno test will usually yield better numbers.
