I had recently heard that A7's were produced in limited quantities to the US market and in 2012, its first model year, they only sent over 7,000 units.
Is this true? Have those numbers been consistent since?
I'm curious because in the garage where I park for work I've seen five other A7's - two black, two grey and two white along with mine.
This doesn't mean I like my car less, I just think our garage is a bit of an anomaly - we also have three SLS Gullwings in there too.
It would be very difficult to get me to like my car less.
Although in general, US sales of the A7 are still relatively low in the ~8500/yr range.
And I agree, would be hard to like the car any less

You're in the right ballpark. I happened to save this news story from a while back: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/audi-e...143701274.html
I've pasted the numbers below in case the article disappears, but it's easier to read the table in the article. Note that the S-models and A-models are lumped together in these numbers.
AUDI US SNAPSHOT --MTD-- --YTD--
Model Line Dec '13 Actual Dec '12 Actual Yr/Yr % change Dec '13 YTD Actual Dec '12 YTD Actual Yr/Yr % change
A3 0 397 -100.0% 857 7,205 -88.1%
A4 3,543 3,369 5.2% 36,744 34,163 7.6%
A5 1,384 1,572 -12.0% 18,664 17,270 8.1%
A6 2,686 1,875 43.3% 22,428 18,998 18.1%
A7 944 926 1.9% 8,483 8,598 -1.3%
A8 718 900 -20.2% 6,300 6,002 5.0%
Allroad/Avant 436 437 -0.2% 5,386 4,367 23.3%
Audi Q5 4,794 3,626 32.2% 40,355 28,671 40.8%
Audi Q7 2,279 1,493 52.6% 15,978 11,008 45.1%
R8 70 51 37.3% 813 802 1.4%
TT 159 195 -18.5% 2,053 2,226 -7.8%
Total Audi Sales 17,013 14,841 14.6% 158,061 139,310 13.5%
Total CPO Sales 4,022 3,321 21.1 % 40,190 36,469 10.2 %
This is more timely and and shows all the models (US sales for July and YTD):
It appears YTD the A3/S3 have taken sales from the A4/S4/A5/S5. Otherwise the SUVs have shown the rest of the growth. Negative growth for all the other models which I'm sure is concerning for Audi U.S.
