Turns out we may have been wrong.

That's because when the A7 came out from hiding, it appeared to look, well, a bit pedestrian. Could it be that we've gotten so used to the greenhouse of the A7 that we're just not as entertained? Could it be something else?

It seemed to have caught Agent 001's eye when he was evaluating Audi's latest sedan. It actually bears a bit of resemblance to something you wouldn't expect. That would be the Hyundai Sonata. The roofline from the side profile is nearly bang on. 

And while the first-gen vehicle had a bit of panache to it, the second-gen A7 just seems...flat. Overall, the design is very middle of the road. 

Having said that, we've got to ask: Did Audi Sonatatize the all-new A7 Sportback? Is it a bit too staid and safe?
