    Looks great ! Nothing wrong with variety. I always had a quattro next to my 5er. Never considered an awd BMW just like I never considered a fwd Audi. No matter how much I love one car, after a while I feel the need to change. That's why I have the Audi, BMW, Volvo and Firebird. You know what they say, for every great car, there's a guy tired of driving it....

    Oh man. So much better looking than anything BMW has put out in the last 5 years.

    It came down to this , the panamera , and the gran coupe. I needed four doors, plus i still have my 6 coupe. The panamera was hands down the best driver, but dated tech , butt ugly looks and the fact that the redesign will basically make for a 1st gen cayanne massacre kept me away. The GC honestly every time I looked at it I saw just another sedan. In a couple years as prices fall I may still pick one up (an M), but yes, pretty disappointed with BMW right now.

    BTW sorry for the horrible quality, it seems my monitor is completely out of wack.

    Your avatar always reminds me of the dude on the street corner from the movie Belly... When Method Man and Nas are rolling through the town making a delivery.

    While I like the A7 and drove one for a couple months, I have to say that the pictures you took are probably some of the only angles in which this car does not look a bit weird and slightly disproportionate. The design from certain angles looks like they took a regular sedan and just sloped the roof back towards the edge of the trunk (which, in all honesty, is what they did). Cool car with a beautiful interior, but a funky design.

    When I 1st saw it a couple years ago, I hated it. I just didn't understand its purpose. Fast forward a couple years when I was shopping sedans (not an east thing when i love coupes) , I didnt want anything cookie cutter. I liked the fact I could toss my bike in back. The funkiness is why I was ultimately drawn to it. I will say while many folks like the S-Line kit, I think it works against the lines of the car, and much prefer it without. Wheels and stance is a definite make or break.

    Haha! Yes, you remember the scene too. I used to love the movie despite Nas and Tboz's horrible acting. Anyway, nice Audi The A7/S7 is my favorite of the current lineup.

    Good looking car for sure, but is it any fun? Last time I checked, Audis were about as fun as a game of kick-the-can.

    I dont know if I would call it fun , but I do love driving it because its good at what it was designed for. Besides , South Florida is interstate city and we only have turns at intersections. That said I often find myself going 120 without realizing it - it cruises triple digits effortlessly. You dont really need to pay much attention until pushing 130..That can be a good and bad thing, due to lack of feedback. Not exciting, but unfaded. Bad weather is almost comical, the car cannot be upset. Everynow and then I try to have some fun by slapping the paddles when pulling away from a light, but I just end up feeling and probably looking like a douche. I have other cars for that.
