However, its sloping roofline and well-integrated hatch would appear to prove that at least one automaker can create a five-door hatch that&#8217;s simultaneously attractive and functional.<\/p>\n<p>If our tea leaf-reading is accurate, we&#8217;d expect to see the A7 make its production debut either in Detroit this January or at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/GenevaMotorShow\/\">Geneva Motor Show<\/a> in March. Powertrain options should include everything from Audi&#8217;s turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four to the S4&#8217;s supercharged six, along with a V8 option further down the line. And if the BMW 5 Series GranTurismo proves to be a hit in the States, we won&#8217;t be at all surprised if Audi follows suit and by offering the A7 in North America.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2011-audi-a7\/low\/\">Spy Shots: 2011 Audi A7<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2011-audi-a7\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/01-audi-a7-spy-shots-kgp-nov_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2011-audi-a7\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/02-audi-a7-spy-shots-kgp-nov_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2011-audi-a7\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/03-audi-a7-spy-shots-kgp-nov_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-2011-audi-a7\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/04-audi-a7-spy-shots-kgp-nov_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/20\/spy-shots-2011-audi-a7-caught-in-production-form\/\">Spy Shots: 2011 Audi A7 caught in production form<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:56:00 EST.
