Full article and photo at the link. This is good news though. I like the A8, but every once in a while it just seems, I don't know, common. Doesn't it?A 9, or a 10? Audi’s 2014 L.A. Auto Show Concept Could Be the A9—and Could Be a Stunner

Audi has a surprise in store for the 2014 Los Angeles auto show and is teasing us with a peek at it. The darkened image above shows an unnamed concept car that we believe previews the brand’s upcoming A9 flagship. As we’ve speculated, and the photo seems to back up, the A9 is shaping up to be a large luxury hatchback—think of a plus-size A7, or of our A9 rendering, and you wouldn’t be far off—that would sit above the A8 in the lineup. But it also represents something more.
The concept car, penned by Audi’s new head of design Marc Lichte, will show off the company’s new design language that soon will spread to the brand’s entire lineup. Judging by how common Audi’s styling is from model to model, this concept thus bears huge implications for the company’s future product portfolio.
