I think overall the car may look better in darker colours. I also think its the camera angles that make it look in all these shots and they dont show the biggest problem of the design: The rear.

The rear of the car has nice lights but the sportback sloping roof makes the car look lazy. Other than that this car does have really nice features and that interior is great.

The rear is just awkward.

Meh. I really couldn't care for how they executed the front or rear on the A7. The lower end of the rear is also stubby looking.

The S7 looks ridiculous. Those intakes are humongous. If they make an RS7 I can't imagine them even bothering to put a bumper on it.

The interior is gorgeous though.

Why do I get thet impression that this is a big, heavy car with no headroom?
Autobahn cruiser for midgets?

This is a very ugly car. In the first 2 shots the angle of the trunk area just looks incorrect. Yuck!

+1....Agreed on the rear looks. Looks kind of tame from behind. And why can't they add a little bigger wheel arches? I'm not saying bigger like really huge but bigger meaning bigger then the current wheel arches. It would definitely make the car look more special.

This is a car that does need to be see in the fresh before you can truly make the decision on whether you like it or not. No doubt the tail is it's least flattering advantage point and really dark colour don't help this. If I had one complaint about the rear it's that the tail make the rear suspension appear it's carrying an extra 100kg of cement in the boot.

One exciting thing about this motor is it's engine, the new 4.0TFSI will be Audi's answer to BMW's 4.4tt v8, no need to debate which is better as I am sure both are equally impressive.

I love audi interiors, and the layout on this one looks great. But that woodgrain, or whatever it is, has to go. Its not a Chris Craft even if it might drive like one!

Looks disproportioned, the back looks huge and the front looks tiny.
