2b2 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 got these for elsewhere...hope the links & formatting work All-New Audi A7 Rear Lights Look Like Something Off A ChironCarScoops - Sergiu Tudose - Oct 19, 2017We're less than two hours away from Audi unveiling the second-generation A7 Sportback and we've already caught a glimpse of the new model's rear end design...NetCarShow for Press Release, too __ovl_____wlb_____w_____ht__________195.63 - 115.196 - 75.12 - 55.98 -- 2018 Audi A74969mm — 2926mm — 1908mm — 1422mm.MotorAuthority: a few Live pix...The four-door fastback sedan likely goes on sale in the U.S. sometime late next year, although details about the sedan were few and far between. The second-generation sedan has a long road ahead of it before it goes on sale in the U.S., but its initial powertrain offering will be a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 that makes 340 horsepower and will use a 48-volt, mild-hybrid system, according to Audi. The duo should result in a 34 mpg combined average, on the European cycle. A plug-in hybrid A7 will appear later, according to Audi, although those specifics weren't announced...

akirby Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 At least they’re not calling it a “gran coupe”. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) I like it, although I generally like Audi designs,with the exception of the Q7. They ruined that one for me on the redesign. Edited October 20, 2017 by tbone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 So does it have a teeny tiny trunk opening or is it a hatchback design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 So does it have a teeny tiny trunk opening or is it a hatchback design? I think it's a hatchback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I like it, although I generally like Audi designs,with the exception of the Q7. They ruined that one for me on the redesign. Agreed. I like the previous model better. So does it have a teeny tiny trunk opening or is it a hatchback design? It's a hatchback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I wonder if that rear light system is coming to the US or not.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I wonder if that rear light system is coming to the US or not.... If anything, it'll be altered (at least the lighting sequences) to adhere to US laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordmantpw Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I posted this over at FIN to show an example of Audi lighting differences in the US/Euro markets: Here's an example of the US setup: Compared to the Euro Setup: That Euro setup doesn't look like it would be very visible during the daytime. It needs a larger area IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonj80 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) The Trucking industry is the one fighting changing some of the lighting standards in the US. What people need to do is start calling there congressmen. Today the CHMSL would never be approved.
