based on history of the S vs. the A models, what sort of premium are we likely to see with the S7?

I would think that the S7 would start at around $90k.

I think thats on the high side for 'starting at'. But optioned out around 90k is probably reasonable.

Curious about the two exclusive colors - crystal effects - will be interesting to see if those are ridiculously priced colors or if they will be a reasonable priced option (In the UK a S3 can be optioned with the Estoril Blue Crystal Effect for a 750 uk pound upcharge - where on the S5 there were about 7 exclusive colors that were brutally expensive - I can see it going either way.)

Also see mention of a layered beaufort oak - which I wonder if that was the original nautical looking inlays that were in the rollout A7 in europe early on.

Don't see them pitcing it at $10K more than a decently loaded CLS550. Based on the info provided the S7 and the CLS550 have very similar performance. That said if the S6 is $10K cheaper than the S7 I think that will be the car that sells best.

With Stasis ECU, exhaust and other performance upgrades, the A7 will be as fast as the S7...

I'm encouraged by the mention that comfort seats are available as an option. I hope that filters over to the U.S. A7's.

BTW, did anyone else notice that the redline on the S7 is approx 5500 RPM?

Maybe, but with a simple flash, this engine should be able to match or surpass the S8's 520 HP. I assume the engines are the same, just turned up turbos on the S8. I'll be interested to see where pricing lands. That will decide A7 vs S7 for me.

The redline on the picture of the S7 looks like it is 6400 or 6500 RPM.
