    To get the '16 A7 or wait for the new model?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey all! :)
    New member here. Hope this isn't a dumb question and hope this is the right board I am going to post this question.
    But, I finally am getting rid of my A6, I finally have the chance to lease my dream car, the A7! Now, is it worth waiting for the new model that comes out mid summer, or should I just get the '16? Any thought on the new model? I saw the rendering of the new model, did not really know what to think of it:/
    I'm so confused.. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks all!

    More like mid summer of 2017 as 2018 model. You can wait if you can.

    Why wait....get one now vs when they finally change. More $$$ and will probably be more difficult to get a car as they'd be a new design. Besides what else would you drive the next 18-24 mos. are ya buying or leasing? That makes a difference as well.

    Love the 2016 A7. Picked it up with no regrets. The car is beautiful. Love mine in Ibis White. I also love the headlights. The whole facelift really grows on you over time and realize how "newer" the car looks compared to the older models.

    Get the car now if you want it.
    Current: 2016 A7 Prestige. Ibis White. 20"s

    Past:
    A8 Black
    996TT Arctic Silver, 6 manual .... my 1st dream car
    997cab Black, 6 manual .....utter disappointment
    997TT Guards Red, body colored grill, 6 manual
    R8 V10 2010 Blue, gated 6 manual

    14 a6 prestige xenons

    16 a7 LED .... Ok..... Not in love.

    Although I do love the new 16 rear and brake lights much much better than the old style.

    you guys are awesome! thanks for the replies!
    I decided to get the '16 A7 "(S Package , along with the black optic package!) Dakota Gray Metallic.
    Now, what do you all think of the color? Please tell me I got the right color! A few of my buddies criticized the color for being an old mans car... I don't think so... Thoughts?
    I will post pics when I pick it up next week:) So excited!!

    If you like the color and the car, thats what matters. You are gonna drive it, not your buddies. If they dont like it, they can keep their eyes off it. Lol
