The RS7 with an upgraded version of next year's twin-turbo V-10 will be quite fast for sure.
I still think the CLS is a better looking car though. What do you guys think?

I think both the CLS and the proposed A7/S7 are very attractive cars, with the edge to the CLS (I don't like the fish-mouth grill on the Audi's all that much).

In any event, the styling is moot in my mind. In my experience, Audi has the worst dealers/service of anybody (at least in the N. San Diego area). It will take years of friends reporting positive experiences with the service departments before I ever consider another Audi.

Too bad, too. I think they are generally really great cars.

Agree... I look at my CLS every day and IMHO believe it's shape & style is way far ahead of anything else. Like the the A7, they can imitate it & put new technology & grunt, but the package we currently enjoy so well done, I'm betting it'll be 10 or more years before the rest of car companies surpass it. There was a quote from Motor Trend way back, that said something along the lines of "an italian styled car, but german engineered".
