The new 7 is nice indeed, and a great improvement from the previous generation, IMO.

Good luck with that wage-slave.

I saw an A5 in the lot today. What a stupid thing. A 2-door car longer than a SUV. What the hell, yo?

The front overhang is way too long. It has the proportions of a mid 90's Camry.

The A5 and especially the S5 is universally considered one of the most attractive cars in production today. A true coupe needs to have a longer hood/shorter rear overhang to be considered attractive. The A5/S5 is about 6.8cm shorter than the A4. Which SUV where referring to? A RAV4 or a CRV?

Never cared for anything from audi. Well unless the lambos count. Just never any designs that caught my attention. Even the R8 I find a very boring design for a exotic car.

Wait I take that back, I did like the TT when it first came out.

They build great cars but just not my taste.

The front LEDs look ******* stupid. They're stupid on all the other Audis and they're stupid on this flagship. What's next? Clear tail lights to go with them?

Otherwise, it's a bland looking car, just like previous A8s. But having hauled ass on a prior S8 model, I know it'll definitely haul ass.

I've never been a fan either, although I'm always interested in what Audi has to offer. I have friends who swear by them, but I've never been enthused enough to make a purchase.
