"The Blissful Pleasure of the Absolutely Unnecessary"

Thanks for sharing that. Funny about his comment about the visual appeal of the car with the wheel cracked 90 degrees

"I also happened to take a shine to an Audi. Yes, an Audi. It's not that I think there's anything wrong with Audi (well, besides the FWD nature of most of their supposed luxury cars)"

Supposed luxury cars? I would expect an Audi review to begin like this 5+ years ago, but come on, what is this guy talking about??

Audi makes BMW and Mercedes look like "supposed" luxury brands these days, IMO.

At least he liked the A7 in the end :)

I like his comment to Audi that you can spend 20000 on electronics options, but have no options that actually improve the performance of the car.

I like his comment to Audi that you can spend $20,000 on electronics options, but have no options that actually improve the performance of the car.

Yeah, basically some suit at AUDI USA signed off on the idea that only the S7 needs to have all the goodies like SportDiff and adjustable suspension. So we loose in the USA. What a Jerk! A $75K sport sedan should have this as an option. I guess AudiUSA thinks you need to pony up $90K to get what can be had in a $49K S4.

This Reviewer had the car for two weeks. Yet nowhere I've seen, has there been any
remarks about LED Headlights. I chose not to include these in my order as aesthetics
of running daylights seem to compliment the HID's and LED's look like they came later
(except on A6). They are supposed to be brighter but nobody makes any comments.

Only one youtube showed the car at night just because it is so fantastic inside. I believe that one was added
to this A7 forum just recently.

No info. from Audi quantifies the extra brightness. This could be huge or minimal.
I suspect the latter. Experiences welcome please.
