First Audi A7 test mules spied

Audi is determined to eclipse its main rivals in the luxury segment and will be releasing an onslaught of new models over the next seven years to nearly double its offerings to 40 models.

We recently saw the introduction of the new Q5 SUV as well as confirmed plans for a new entry-level A1 minicar, and now we have spy shots of a vehicle that fits in at the other end of the spectrum.

These latest spy shots reveal a prototype for the upcoming A7, which is set to do battle in the fast-emerging luxury four-door coupe market when it’s launched in mid 2010.

That was fast! And that overhang will get shorter in versions 2,3,4, and will gain in the 5th generation of this car. Its the audi way.

Staar, since you constantly call BMW cheap because they have lease specials, I would like to point out that Mercedes does the same thing with the C.

People don't choose the 3 because it's cheaper than the C, they choose it because it's better.

BMW doesnt really have any good lease specials. Not like Audi, lexus or Mercedes ..

staar - is ridiculous ... just tries to get a rise out of everyone .. staar probably is driving a kia or hyundai. It is kind of like in regards to women and the problem they have have with sexism. How come only the ugly women have the issue, while the very attractive use the sexiness to seel better? Staar is the same way as the ugly women ... only seeing the glass half full

BMW is an economy German brand? Are you on crack? Even if you are not, I can see that you know nothing about BMW.

Huh? BMW has the cheapest leases of any of those brands. It's super-easy to get a 5 Series or 3 Series as long as you can give up a bit of kit.

The Aerodynamics Engineering which you can see from the car is just stunning. Something we would expect from Audi. "Truth In Engineering"

I've never seen a really great lease deal on a BMW, unless it's an outgoing model, like the current 7. If you read the ads, it's always a base model, and there's always money down. Every manufacturer quotes a different deal, and when you compare apples to apples, the BMW is always more. Mercedes has plenty of lease specials on the C and the E and the SUVs. When Audi has a special, the cars move...when they don't, there's no action - which is why A6 sales suck in this country.

In Canada, BMW has 2% leases on all 3-series sedans, plus all 5-series and 7-series. (Probably trying to move those pigs off the lot to make room for the 2009s).
Audi has no specials ($496/mo for a base A4-Quattro)
Benz has 2.5% on the B-Class (do you get those in the US?)
or 3.5% on the E-300 4-Matic (or CLS550 ... only $1,151/mo!) and the rest are 3.9%

BMW is definitely the cheapest!
