The 2012 Audi A7
The loaded, $80,130 test car came with the $5,800 “innovation package.” It includes an adaptive cruise control system that can automatically take the car down to a full stop in traffic, night vision that displays in a screen between the speedometer and tachometer and a collision avoidance system that will apply the brakes for you if it senses you’re approaching an object too quickly.

The frameless doors and overall greenhouse of the A7 look compressed from the Audi A6, with the curve of the roof continuing until it ends abruptly at the rear of the car.
