Nice Exterior and a gorgeous interior. I think it looks better than the competition in this class.

Nice vehicle. It will give the X5 a run for its money. expyfan, I'm a big Audi fan too. I test drove an A4 a few months ago and I was just wowed by how smooth the ride was. Quattro is a big help! How did you like that gorgeous A6?

Re: TCC Drives 2007 Audi Q7 4.2L Quattro

it looks beasty (large) in the photos, almost like it'd be meant to compete with the R-class.

You sound like you love the A4. Well... the A6 is noticably nicer. Not just ride and size but all around.

Sorry to interject but I get opportunity to drive the A4, S4, and A6 pretty frequently since I work for VWoA and get their test vehicles to drive.

The Q7 is a very nicely fitted vehicle and has the interior quality, look, and feel of the A6. IMO the X5 would not have much of a chance of coming out top in regards to quality, fit, and feel. Except, of course, for those that are big fans of BMW over Audi no matter what.

I do not think it is as big as you think it is. IMO the Touareg is larger than the Q7. But I do not know the dimensions. This is only my opinion from seeing them in the parking lot and in the lobby at work. I hope to drive the Q7 soon.

Re: TCC Drives 2007 Audi Q7 4.2L Quattro

I like the Q7 not too big on SUV's but it works. Touareg is a good platform, Im interested to check it out the Touareg is already impressive I could just imagine the Q7. I remember reading an article a few years back though at the hight of the SUV craze where Audi said they would never make an SUV because there Allroad was already far better then any SUV out there interesting how things change.

I went to Disney in Orlando last weekend and I rented it an Audi A6 Quattro and I felt in love with it the moment I sat inside the car. Is just gorgeous. It has an awesome grip, power, and the 6 speed automatic is smooth. I was hitting 120 mph racing with a Volvo XC70 Crosscountry in the Florida Turnpike and it was awesome. At night, the dash is beautiful and it has LED lights all around the inside of the vehicle, is just amazing, and the Multi-Media Interface(MMI) is easy to use and understand.
