"dear god no" Are you kidding? That is one of the best looking concept cars i have seen in quite some time, and it would kick it's rivals collective arse if it made it to production...

dumped my Q7 for an A6 recently and have never regret it, the A7 might be my next car. i hope the trunk isn`t too small in reality. it`s a gorgeous car inside out and deserves the no1 spot there.

The R8 is a definate yes but that A7 looks like a Toy car. I must admit though that the Volvo 4 door coupe concept has the most clean lines thus far. The now aged CLS Merc is way better than this A7.I just can't see it competing against the Merc.

I don't see what the hype about the A7 Concept is. To me, the CS concept from BMW last year was more meaningfull. IMHO, the A7 is ugly front and back. The inteior is nothing special. Good taillights though, still does not deserve this spot. Maybe we had more Audi fans voting on this one.....
