Audi's new Mercedes CLS-rivalling A7 is likely to be launched at the Moscow motor show in August 2010 and go on sale later next year.
Sources have revealed, however, that it will only have a small price premium over the next A6 saloon on which it's based.
Spec for spec you'll pay around £2000 more, which means prices could start at around £28,000.
At first all models are likely to have range-topping engines and four-wheel drive, but the company still hasn't decided whether four or five seats will be standard.

Re: Audi A7 set for Moscow launch
In spite of the moaning, this A7 is an object lesson in imposing a quasi-coupe design on a saloon car that Jaguar could've learned from when creating its new XJ.
It's a faddish direction started by the CLS, but where the A7 speaks for itself and is probably the best looking Audi in the range, the Jag needs Callum to spout arcane waffle to justify what he's got wrong.
