I'm not trying to fight either so don't take any of the comments above offensively.

yes and no, cause the original Sportback Concept, which previewed the A7/S7 a few years back, influenced the A5 Sportback, that came out last year, not the other way around. But u are right, it is kind of a big brother to the A5/S5 Sportback and i think like the avant it won`t be the last Audi model with such a 4-door-hatch-coupe layout (next A3 series) cause the A5/S5 Sportback is pretty successful over here. Many customers choose it over the A4/S4 sedan/avant.

first interior pic. it´s from the test mule, without chrome, wood, colors and other detailing of the final product, but it gives a good overview:

never happening Audi has forgotten some if its sporting roots because they dont offer manual transmission on most of their cars. The DSG is amazing but its not stick IMO.

and there it is, 1st photos of the A7 leaked ahead of the reveal tomorrow:
The first official images of the all new Audi A7 Sportback are making the internet rounds today ahead of the sport
saloon's debut on Monday. These photos prove that the production car has stayed remarkably true to the 2009
Detroit Show concept's appearance.
Most differences concern practical details such as the shape and size of the exterior mirrors, and the air-inlets on
the front bumper. The car also keeps the show car's five-door body style with a practical rear hatch, just under
5 metres long.
In a similar fashion, the styling of the interior is almost identical to the concept, sans the colors and the decorative
trim.
Mechanically, the A5 Sportback's big brother is heavily based on the next generation of the A6 and according to our
sources, at launch it will be offered with both diesel and gasoline V6 engines including the new 3.0-liter TSI unit with
some 290-horsepower. It goes without saying that the A7 Sportback will be available with Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive
system and S-tronic dual clutch transmissionS.
Expect to see performance-oriented S7 and RS7 variants, as well as a hybrid model being added to the range within
the next year or so.
The A7 Sportback will slot between the A6 and A8 executive saloons with its main competitors being the new Mercedes-
Benz CLS, the Porsche Panamera and the BMW 5-Series GT.
It also features a retractable rear wing:
