RE: A7?
It looks like Audi plans to turn up the heat on its competitors(BMW & Mercedes). The A7 will debut in Nov 2007 in the Los Angeles Car show(according to the article). I think when it hits the market, it will prolly be BIG expensive...thats why I need to start saving now.

Audi attacks Mercedes and BMW with nine new series and 40 new models looking to close the gap between Audi and the Premium-competition. One of the show-pieces of the Ingolstadt offensive could become the A7 coupé.
Audi has more gaps in their lineup than other Premium manufacturers. That should change now. The A5-Coupe, which will compete with the 3er-BMW and the Mercedes CLK, is already igniting interest (sales start @ the end of 2007), and Audi-boss Martin Winterkorn already has the next rocket: The A7 coupé. In November the four door should be shown show in Los Angeles for the first time. The A7 should slot between A6 and A8 and is planned as an opponent for the much noted Mercedes CLS.
And that's not all: In 2010 the A2 Shooting Brake is planned, to be brought out before the A3 and A5 Cabrio (both 2008), a smaller SUV (end of 2008) for the upper middle class under the working title Roadjet (2009) and the super sports car R8 on basis of the Lamborghini Gallardo (end 2006).

The rest of the article talks about Winterkorns plans for teh Marque for 2015 and beyond... The "40 new models" looking to close the lineup gap with B-M-Trouble-U and Mercedes.
