Audi Q7 Official Pictures...

http://autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=103011

AutoWeek finally got Audi Q7 pictures...I really like the new style and design of Audis. They are very luxurious and stylish...I would be surprised if this SUV did not sell well. Surely, Audi is late to the party, but with style!

Re: Audi Q7 Official Pictures...

i'm pretty sure this belongs here: http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f...splay.php?f=62

i like the look of the Q7, it's more aggresive than the touareg in front, yet the roofline's sloping towards the rear. sleek looking

Very good looking. The new grill looks better on the SUV than it does on the sedans (in my opinion)

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?

This thing is going to cost a fortune.

Looks pretty good though.

Pig Ugly??? It's a matter of taste...

The Cadillac SRX, better looking? Again, it's a matter of taste...but I think, you might have a dubious taste...no offense mate.



THE SRX IS FUGLY!

And the Interior...Oh dear...



Looks cheap and Ugly.

BTW: The Audi Q7 offers a 7-seat configuration.

Re: Audi Q7 Official Pictures...

SRX came out as a '04 model, right? The Q7 is an '07 model. Just wait until the next SRX comes out, it's going to blow the competition away.

Re: Audi Q7 Official Pictures...

Is this a Toureg/Cayane too? Or is it different? I looks alot like the VW, especially the rear shot, the new Jetta has almost identical wheels.

Re: Audi Q7 Official Pictures...

Gosh.. this is an awful looking SUV.
Is it me... or is that dash just too busy?? The Nav screen being off center really bugs ms. The rear seats looks very flat. The tail of the car looks liek a Civic.

Sorry Audi.. this one is just wretched.

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.

I never said anything about the SRX's interior, the Q7 destroys it. However the exterior is really gaudy and tasteless. I was unaware that the Q7 offered 7-Seat capability (seeing that it's platform mate doesn't offer it). If it does indeed offer it, I definitely wouldn't want to be sitting in that row of chairs.
