@swinglow33 Why would the S7 only have a tighter suspension and upgraded trim in your opinion? All S models (not talking about the S-line sport package, but the "real" S cars) also get a higher performance engine than the standard car. In the case of the A7 / S7 it would probably be close to 400hp. RS7 (which would be absolutely awesome) probably something above 500hp.
I hate to say it, being an Audi owner myself....this was biased. Alex Roy should have had the car for a day, then JF on the other day. Then, tape the review for FLDetours. Somewhere in between Alex and JF's review could be a great review. That said, I love this car. Someone mentioned S7, but all that would be is a tighter suspension and upgraded trim. Could there be an RS7....? Price wise, it's beyond my reach, but would be a good read.
This car looks great in black, i would wait for the S7, thats going be a car worth waiting for. Personally i think that the look is very balanced and it looks great overall. At the moment the car is a little under powered, but the S7 should put up a great fight with the CLS AMG.
@nforspeed91 but they will still be attracted to it and compliment you. its the same with the a/s5 people dont realize its a coupe their just sort of magically drawn to the shiny audi
@ratmtbola if it's looks what you are looking for, then the Mercedes CLS is the choice. If it is interior, Jag XJ then. I say the M37 cause is a pretty balanced alternative. And i love the VQ engine ;)
Are you sure JF isn't a bit too biased towards Audi? I remember the old days of FLD where Derek D would constantly be making fun of him for his Audi love ;)
@oOoironhideoOo Depens on what style of interior you like better. In terms of interior quality the Audi A7 (or Audi in general) is second to none. And in terms of style Audi is better than Jaguar too, atleast for me. But the Jag XJ and Infiniti M37 are completely different cars than the CLS or A7 anyways. The M37 is a small sports sedan, the XJ is a big full-size luxury sedan. The M37 should be compared with the C-Class, A4 and 3 series, the XJ with the S-Class, A8 and 7 series ;)
@oOoironhideoOo Really depends on what you want ;) But looking just at four door coupes, I'd probably take the Merc CLS. A7 would be second. And if it's for a sports four door coupe, either the Aston Martin Rapide or Porsche Panamera Turbo. If all you want is looks, style and luxury, I'd say Rapide. If you also want usable back seats (the ones in the Aston are tiny) and good trunk space, the Panamera.
I am on the other sid eof the fence on its looks. I don't like it. It looks too bland for my taste. they say its competition is the 535i and XF, but I see this more as overpriced. I'd rather have the Hynundai Equus and make a statement.
@ratmtbola everythingt i say is based on car reviews and magazines ... i havent even seen one of those on the street, so my final word is yet to be said ... but from what i've seen, im still going for something else than an A7 ;)

@mohseen7 This comment just sounds like another one of those haters... Now, let's set the record straight. Aston Martin Rapide vs Audi A7.. really? the Rapide costs 3x A7.. Panamera is ugly as a fck, (beauty is a subjective thing, but if you think this car is pretty, then hell... you must have an aesthetic ability of a dung-beetle)... Acura ZDX? BMW 5 GT? come on now. CLS is the closest thing to the right class of competition. And I'm not gonna say which is better. Both great cars.
@oOoironhideoOo The Infiniti is quite ugly though, comparing it to the A7. And the interior of the M37 is nowhere near being on a level with the Audi either ..
apples and oranges i would call that comparison. If i like to wear my watch on my right wrist what is it to anyone else on the other hand if i fart while eating in a restaurant i can cause people to puke its like i like to sleep in my boxer shorts you cant say you must wear pajamas to bed
WHY the F is this such crap video quality?! WTF FLD? You might as well throw away all your expensive audio and video equipment if you are going to upload these in 360i SD at an absolutely crappy 370 kb/sec video compression. Just make these with a 5 year old cell phone video camera. We wouldn't know the difference. WTF are you thinking?
Does Audi pay u guys in some way that u keep saying shit watever u want.!!A7 is a shit,...Look at the competition Aston Martin Rapide Porsche Panamera Acura ZDX BMW 5-series Gran Turismo Mercedes-Benz CLS-class I m sure,the buyer will look around before he buys that junk
"Great review JF. We can always count on you to give a fair, unbiased, accurate review of Audi cars." signed Johan de Nysschen .
i like JFs attention to details
JF - "For a man of my size..."
Me - "Giggity"
now this.. is a good car review.. finally something decent! JF rules!
@veyronman It's actually been Lexus since the ISF.

u did a good job keep up the good work and F the hatersss
TDI? Option
this video, didn't apear in my sub box!
Shouldn't these tests be impartial?
Would you please let me know what background music you used?
the steering wheel looks like a bumper car wheel with the round center
Beautiful car i just dont digg the color but still not a bad price. Great Vid JF keep em coming and i wasn't surprised it was a Audi. haha
HD?
@nforspeed91 but they will still be attracted to it and compliment you. its the same with the a/s5 people dont realize its a coupe their just sort of magically drawn to the shiny audi

WHY U NO UPLOAD?
Are you sure JF isn't a bit too biased towards Audi? I remember the old days of FLD where Derek D would constantly be making fun of him for his Audi love ;)
HOW DOES IT CORNER? HOW DOES IT BRAKE? 0-60 TIME? REAR SEATROOM? CARGO CAPACITY? Come FLDetours...I mean...come on..
what on earth made Audi pick Tmobile? Verizon or ATT would have been exponentially better
@305pride lexus actually did it first on the latest LS
why not?

way to put an "unbiased" journalist in the vehicle guys. Do you really think JF would ever say anything bad about an audi?
@ILikeReallyBigButts darn... one could hope... TDI FTW!
@oOoironhideoOo Really depends on what you want ;) But looking just at four door coupes, I'd probably take the Merc CLS. A7 would be second. And if it's for a sports four door coupe, either the Aston Martin Rapide or Porsche Panamera Turbo. If all you want is looks, style and luxury, I'd say Rapide.

SECOND. Which is better then first. Remember? First is the worst, second is the best, third is the one with the polka dotted dress.
1100 words are nothing. I'm in college right now as a journalism major and i write 1250 minimum.
maserati presence? are you serious?
Wow, JF likes an Audi.
Who'd a thunk it?
What made audi think T-mobile would be a good choice.
Maserati presence? I don't think so. The casual folk will see an a4, not an a7
i hate it when people ask the rhetorical "WHY?"
ya i think CLS looks a bit better too
I am on the other sid eof the fence on its looks. I don't like it. It looks too bland for my taste. they say its competition is the 535i and XF, but I see this more as overpriced. I'd rather have the Hynundai Equus and make a statement.

You can see how this is build for Germans. Lost connection with T-mobile in Germany? Well maybe in a tunnel in a very remote area ....
im not a big fan of cars having the super high belt line. im old school. good review JF

late late ..everyone done a review of this car already ..
ZR1 IS KING!
@Lambo546 People love to complain. If they went with some other carrier, they would say...."Why didn't Audi go with .... ".
@mohseen7 This comment just sounds like another one of those haters... Now, let's set the record straight. Aston Martin Rapide vs Audi A7.. really? the Rapide costs 3x A7..

no 720
Thanks for boring the crap out of me spending half the review taliking about the driving position in a highway car then the other half about tmobile
i'd have the Infinity M37 instead ..
@americansmark Hyundai***
Maserati presence? hmmm no. The A7 isn't that good looking of a car to me. The Mercedes CLS and the Panamera look better IMHO
pleasantly surprised in an Audi, JF? Really surprised? Really?
@oOoironhideoOo The Infiniti is quite ugly though, comparing it to the A7. And the interior of the M37 is nowhere near being on a level with the Audi either ..
he is Audi fan boy, take everything with a grain of salt.
It seems to me that most of the people at FLD are all a bunch of Audi Fanboys.
apples and oranges i would call that comparison. If i like to wear my watch on my right wrist what is it to anyone else on the other hand if i fart while eating in a restaurant i can cause people to puke its like i like to sleep in my boxer shorts you cant say you must wear pajamas to bed
8 speed transmission? thats preposterous lol
Driving position and beef jerky? Horrible video quality
T MOBILE CRAPED OUT
looks like a turtle.
A7>CLS

CLS > A7
FIRST
Does Audi pay u guys in some way that u keep saying shit watever u want.!!A7 is a shit,...Look at the competition
Aston Martin Rapide
Porsche Panamera
Acura ZDX
BMW 5-series Gran Turismo
Mercedes-Benz CLS-class
I m sure,the buyer will look around before he buys that junk
