audi A7 and new CLS
what do you guys think about the new audi A7 and new benz CLS,, damn these are some good looking rides and in a whole different league than 3 series
so tempted to upgrade when lease runs out on the 3, but the price might get me, audi seems like it's more affordable |

No doubt the new CLS is a looker, especially the angle posted above. The same is true for the A7 from this angle, though it's much more refrained.
You couldn't really go wrong with either as they are both great cars. |

I'd wait for 6 Series GranCoupé, but some my not like that it looks just like a very dynamic and sporty sedan with frameless windows and four seats. Its my favorite of the bunch, I just can't like the 5 Series Sedan enough because of the 6 Series GranCoupé.

CLS hands down. Looks so much more elegant. The A7 looks better than most, but it's too restrained to stand a chance against the new Benz.

As much as I like Audi I hate the A7. The CLS is nicer

CLS for me. Neither are perfect but the more I see the CLS I'm warming to it. The A7 I think actually has a really nice front but the side profile is terrible! The rear end is so saggy. Both have really nice interiors too.

The new CLS is the definition one of those designs that grows on you. When it first came out, I wasn't sure.
Now I think it is one best looking cars out there. It will stand out from all the bland BMW's and Audi's. |

I would def take the CLS, but I think I'd take the older body style CLS before the newer one. I think older one just looks better, the back of the new resembles an S-class too much IMO.

Agreed, i really like the older style CLS so much more. The A7 is def going to be an awesome competitor and it will probably just come down to the price of the two.

Well it comes down to SC6 vs TTV8. I think with the size of these cars in this class, they need the bigger V8. |
