Re: Audi Q7 Official Pictures...

Here are inherent problems I have with the new Auid dash/IP.
The thing is wretchedly UGLY. There are soooo many creases and edges and curve.. and nothing makes any real sense.
I am well aware of the fact that Audi interiors have the best materials and perceived quality. That doesn't discount the fact that I think this interior is too busy and has taken a step BACKWARDS from where it was.

Re: Audi Q7 Official Pictures...

The interior looks pretty good except the wood trim, which in my opinion looks terrible. It reminds me of a Crossover version of the Jetta on the outside, but not bad, although you would have to threaten to kill me to ever get me in an Audi.

Get in the car, or ELSE. j/k, but seriously my family has had bad experiences with Audi, and my father laughs at them all the time.

Re: Audi Q7 Official Pictures...

I think I'll save some cash and get the Touareg. I've seen most of these pictures elsewhere and was on the fence until I saw this head-on shot of the interior:



I mostly prefer the Touareg's interior (large pic):

Re: Audi Q7 Official Pictures...

I like the Touareg's interior better, but it's still plagued with millions of buttons coating every surface.

True. But that's because it's feature packed.

Tough times are ahead. A brand new car is not in the cards. My new (to me) 16 year old Accord serves the purpose extremely well. And it's paid off!

You can have lots of features arranged in a prettier way. That used to be one of the imports' advantages. I've seen better button arrangements on my iO remote.

Well, this is the reason why systems such as BMW's I-Drive and Audi's MMI system were developed.
