I agree. the previous generation A7 was hardly an upgrade from the A6 in terms of interior refinement at that price point.

Funny!

V8... Audi calls it the S7 if you’re new to the brand.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume you’re an auto enthusiast. Which means I expect you to understand platform graduation. If not, there’s no conversation here.
