SPIED: Audi's Next-Gen A7 Starts Testing — What Would YOU Do Different Over The Current-Gen Car?
Audi's all-new A7 has just been spied undergoing testing for the very first time. This is the "mule" stage where the beauty is found in what you can't see. In other words, only the chassis is different here as it's been skinned in the current-gen's body.

Step 1: Make it RWD with AWD capability rather than sticking with the dumb front-wheel-drive-first mentality.
Step 2: Ditch all of the Audi styling cues. Come up with something that isn't a giant German Camry.
Step 3: Oh wait! Nevermind. VWAG may be bankrupt soon.

As unique a design as the A7 is, I feel like that rear hatchback end does not age as gracefully as the rear end of the CLS or 6 series Gran Coupe

The rear end is what has aged most graceFULLY. It's the front that is a total throw away.
