Audi hopes to boost its sales when it will launch the A7 sedan

If Americans buy a luxury hatchback this will be it(best looking hatchback ever). If they don't buy it Europe should bail on hatchbacks for these shores forever.

And they all look the same. Audi is stuck in a design rut. The new A8 is a big disappointment.

Says much about your business when you have to hope for sales boost from an extremely niche product.

Boosting sales with an expensive niche car is quite optimistic ...

Good luck Audi

I have seen the production A8 and the production final A7 in person. The A7 is absolutely stunning. Period. The strategy makes sense..A8 customers are conservative..and the new A8 fits that bill. The A7 will get the customers who want soemthing more youthful and edgy. That said...the A8 looks better in person than pics convey..and the interior is gorgeous.

I think the A7 will do waaaaaaaaaaaayyy better than the A8. To me the 2011 A8 is just a refresh of the previous model and its already showing its age from the pics i seen last week. i have to say i am not impressed with that car at all it looks like no thought went into the complete design of the new A8.
