Re: Audi Q7 Official Pictures...

Why is everone drooling over this thing? It looks like a pig, especially compared to it's competitors like the SRX. The interior is nice, but the rest is ugly, and it only offers 5-Seats, hasn't VW learned yet?
Ehh...I disagree with you Tahoe, A LOT. First of all, the SRX has a nice interior...that's all I can admit. I'm only a fan of its interior (which is dismal to many others). The SRX rear is what makes me think the Audi is truly a better vehicle. I'm sure Audi is going to offer more power in the vehicle, and looking at the interior, I can bet that the Q7 is going to get the MMI system. I've tested out the MMI system (when I got a drive in the A6 in July), and it is very nice and easy to use. It is very easy to use. Cadillac doesn't offer a system like this. Even with voice recognition, they're are a lot of complex buttons to click on Cadillac's. I know: I own one.

The Audi will be comparably priced. It is very easy to tell: the A6 is priced in the same price range as the BMW 5er. Thus, I presume that the Q7 will be comparably priced with the X5. That is supposed to be its main competitor. As long as the Q7 uses more power than VW and uses fuel-injection or VVT to keep MPG down, I say that this will be a winner. The Q7 is like the 7-Series of Luxury SUVs....at least, that is how it looks to me.
