The A8 Is Done, and the 7 Series Is Likely Next 🪦
The video announces that BMW has officially discontinued the flagship A8 sedan, and suggests the 7 Series may be the last full‑size luxury sedan from a major automaker. Production halted after German dealers stopped accepting orders, and U.S. sales have slumped from 17‑18 k units a decade ago to under 10 k this year. The decline reflects a broader retreat from large sedans as consumers gravitate toward SUVs. Hosts cite the A8’s respectable reputation but note that even a $400,000 Cadillac sedan struggles in a market now dominated by the refreshed Mercedes‑S‑Class, Genesis G90, and the still‑selling 7 Series. The trend signals a shrinking niche for full‑size luxury sedans, prompting manufacturers to reallocate resources to high‑margin SUVs and electric models, while remaining sedan players must innovate or face obsolescence.
