    I can't help thinking that some people actually don't know this thread:

    I don't like any of the SUVs.. ..but this V12 Q7 is so out-of-place, and so politically incorrect that it is just seriously cool. Just a big highway express tank . I love Audi how is among the few who let PR handle the eco-stuff and engineers do everything else

    So audi... your bad. And that doesn't even factor in price.


    PS. Don't give me "oh but the audi gets 20mpg..." because if you are in the market for a vehicle like this. MPG figures mean nothing to you.
    Yeah.. but with all that torque, I bet it kicks ass in midrange.

    Someone somewhere accused the Germans of not having a sense of humour. ... Er it was me actually. Well I now unreservedly apologise - this car can only be built by a Company based in Germany and is one of the most wonderful, glorious anti-ecomentalists/Islingtonista jokes ever!

    Strange how you mention "that doesn't even factor in price", when you factor in nothing else but one stat and just one single stat only; 0-60 figure. That's IT? For real? In all seriousness and honesty, is that the absolute best you can do?

    No offense, but your point fails far more than Audi's dazzling engineering prowess.

    That's because the guys in Ingolstadt don't want to build a better transmission, so the engine has to be limited to 740ftlb. Only 740ftlbs .

    There's room for improvement, but it's still an absolutely mental SUV.

    wrong you dont want this sitting in a front engine configuration car like the RS6, remember since its a diesel engine it'll be a heavy iron block and just mess up the handling w its front heaviness and require a diff front suspension setup.

    This thing is definitely better suited in a mid engined R8 configuration.
