Has anyone seen the new Audi A7? Ugly!

I don't have pics sorry but I seen the new A7 today cruising by me and man it's ugly. The side profile and shape of the car is all wrong. I can't tell you how depressing the rear looks and how low it sits. I can't believe Audi would release that thing.

Isn't that the CLS killer?

The usual comments after seeing the A7 is of praise for it's design so I am a little surprised you felt the opposite on this occasion.

It is not one of their best designs.

A5/S5, A4/S4, A6/S6(upcoming) look great.

The new A8 and A7 fall short in the looks department.

AThe A7 concept was great. Too bad they gave the production version an ugly face (the concept's was given to the A6) and a saggy rear. They also added an awkward stub to the lip of the tail.

Not even close. Pics for comparison.

Sorry footie, but this is one of the most disappointing vehicles I've come across in a while. There was literally nothing about this vehicle that set itself apart from anything in the segment. I'm considering a full size sedan and this did absolutely nothing to entice me.

The concept was a whole different universe from what the production vehicle ended up as.

I have yet to see one in person. I'll hold my opinion till then. But I'm already not really liking the rear end.

Hmmmm, I've gotta see one in person. Low and small back end sounds promising to me amid all the oversized, way too high rear ends most sedans seem to have lately. That's one thing I liked about it in pictures.

its BLOWS the BMW GT fast back away as far as looks, that’s one of the ugliest BMW's I’ve seen in years, as far as the A7 I like it, you can tell a good car design if it begins to grow on you after a while, some cars are ahead of their time that’s all i like it more than the A8.


As far as car design itself, its subjective and each will find it great or lousy, hell even the Aztec found fans who loved the designs, but as far as fit finish and all around execution I dare say it is poor or bad, Audi has beaten BMW in all around quality in interiors for quite a few years now, I own both Audi and BMW and prefer to drive the BMW and look at the Audi lol.

all around a very successful car.
