Very impressive. Wonder if it'll make it to the U.S. before the D5?

From what I heard from my dealer today...it's possible.

I'd consider the A7/S7 if I could get the massaging seats with it. I love that feature in the A8.

Massaging seats are available per Audi media report! (Page 6, 2nd Paragraph).

Been viewing audimediatv website’s new A7 videos as well as other reviews...the more I see, the more I like it. This may be the route I take even if it doesn’t arrive until late next year like the D5.

The uni-brow look of the taillights on the new A7 and A8 is a rather unfortunate design element in my opinion. They remind me of some Dodge and Chrysler cars. Hopefully this is not going to propogate to the entire Audi line.
