didn't everyone discussed about that since the rear roofline is low already, plus lexus love to have the rear huge middle tranny hump, making the middle seat almost impractical

Looks alright, at least it's not ugly.

Seriously though, Audi has ever number now except '2' & '9' but I don't see any real difference between the cars ... it's all the same just a bit different in size w. a but different lines.

Yes, the lines are getting very blurred. Was at a dealership Monday with ever line sitting side by side... after a while the ONLY one that stood out was the R8, the rest all looked the same. In fact, I liked the aggressive front of the A4, my former fav S5 as well... but that's it.

The S8 is an amazing luxury executive sedan... that's being discontinued!!!

the A7 is confirmed to be debut in september at Frankfurt auto show along with the RS5 from some sources.

sales begin later this year in germany and US begins sales early 2010.

It wil most likely be a 2011 model year inception in its sales debut

Lexus doesn't know sexy. They need some help to bring a car on that people desire with soul. Audi is losing their minds latley. The R8 and S5 are still great looking cars though.

Look like a CLS smash togeather with a bentley continental.
As far as Lexus makeing a luxury sport car, I think they should start with the GS line up and make a coupe v8 super charge. Thats sexy!

Saw my first one today, really is a big "meh", wasn't really beautiful or amazing, looks like any Audi with a different rear this time. Really was expecting more.
