Audi A7 Sportback Unveiled Ahead of Paris Auto this Autumn/Fall

Designed to compete against the likes of Porsche Panamera and Mercedes CLS, the A7 seems rather bland in comparison [No offence, AUDI lovers]. Gladly, the AUDI A7 is technically and mechanically superb as usual. 

Four V6 engines will be offered and Audi claims the V6 3.0T engines will deliver a 0-60 mph time of 5.6 seconds. Audi also said that the V6 engines will use an energy regeneration system and a start-stop setup to improve fuel economy. Two transmissions will be offered: a multitronic CVT transmission for front-drive models and 7-speed S tronic with AWD models.

For all you posh tuffs and technophiles [Fear not] the A7 has plenty of luxury inside as well as lots of high-tech goodies. These include standard and optional features like a WLAN hotspot, 1,300 watt Bang & Olufson audio system, a heads-up display and Audi’s new touchpad feature that lets the driver or passenger input Nav info by writing the letters with his or her hand.

@"Monsignor"Onwan; The R8 is stunning but like you say, it does suffer for its badge in comparison to the Lambo, Ferrari, et al.
You must be a "badge snub" like me [Seriously speaking LOL] Actually, I'm more concerned with the after-market value of a car and badges matter.

Maserati Quattroporte has a "marmite appeal" and I suppose it's designed for the folks that require understatement and that seems rather appealing to me just because of "the flat - quirky" design. However, while my teeth are still complete, the Porsche Paramera will do nicely – Thank you. LOL

bruv:

@"Monsignor" Onwan; your description of the BENZ AMG G55 is so vivid that I can "virtually" smell the exquisite leather,

It’s detrimental to even mention the Range Rover, Infinity FX or Hummer alongside the BENZ AMG G55 because I reckon it’s in a class of its own and VfM (value for money) is not what it’s built for as money should be no object. You don’t bargain when buying such rides. It’s kinda insulting to its pedigree.

It takes a lot of courage to own/buy because you should not only be able to support your family AND village BUT your state and EVEN your geo-political zone. LOL

No doubt experiencing this ride in Ikeja has broken your Episcopal vows - Is the Vatican aware? LOL

sultaan:

Now I know why we can't trust you "open-eyed" Nigerians with keys to state treasury.
A simple person like me would have been OK with the 2011 Grand Cherokee, Explorer, or the Taurus SHO.

It like you have a thing for cars over $80k

I was looking t get a Pontiac G8 GXP last year, but the price and insurance cost coupled with my record made me think wise

bruv:

@Onwan; LOL I know the cost of the ride @$120K ain't diddly for Nigerians BUT my point is the baggage a BENZ AMG G55 brings. Can you imagine if your Religious leader, village head, extended family, DPO, neighbours, friends, foe, et al, know you own such a ride. The impact will cost you much more than $10m   

@Sultaan of ATL; I’d rather do a Condo instead of a ride @ $120k because I ain’t in 9jar @ the mo or "Chairman" Onwan. LOL

Anyway, Sultaan of ATL why you considering a Taurus or a Cherokee?
Bruv those rides are worth less than half the value once the dealer cash your cheque or swipe your card before you even drive out of his LOT!!!
Hmm, with your record (like you say), a SEGWAY’s the way! [Think wise]

bruv:

@Onwan; Yep its a diesel! The Jag looks really cool and rather cat-like BUT the rear view - Yuck! What were they thinking! LOL
The Jag and Maserati seems to have a Rover 75 thing going on [Mayb its the Chinese influence in design] LOL

No doubt [like you say] the Paramera still cuts above the rest. CASE CLOSED - It's The BENZ AMG G55 and Porsche Paramera for me!

Fhemmmy:

That Jaguar is a wicked machine.
Test drove it, and i respect, nigerian dont seems to like Jag the way they used to.

bruv:

@Fhemmmy; The test drive must have been an exhilarating experience. I hear the auto gear system is from Mars!
I think Nigerians still like and appreciate the Jag. The issue might be there's not much reliable mech/tech-knowhow for upscale rides. Besides there are other alternatives one can choose from. [Plz don't quote me LOL]

Onwan:

That XFR is lovely, the chrome detail across the lifter does it for me. Its a beauty. You can imagine that ride in black OR army green - gets the chrome pronounced. The interior is very solid for a sedan, its almost like a coupe - emphasis on the driver's comfort. Its a first class ride.

Good job Fhemmmy

Fhemmmy:

My brother, you sure know good ride, i like and appreciate people of your class.
But to be real, [color=#990000][b][color=#990000]i never felt like getting back inside my ride after test driving that machine[/color].[/b][/color]
