interesting review.....thats great news for the audi.....

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

The links not working for me. I'd love to read it.

Even if the Audi is a better car I would rather have the Merc, just because its alot better looking. The merc is a lot more interesting to look at than the somewhat boring Q7....

 

[Deutsch]

I'd take the Audi in a heartbeat.

 

[Matt]

whats up with the big gap between the tailgate and the body on the Q7. Thats terrible fit and finish if you ask me...

 

[donau]

I'm surprised that they compared cars in different size classes. However, not surprised about them liking the Audi better.

I don't mind that. The way the tailgate is shaped makes the cargo area more easily accesible, + it looks pretty cool. IMO.

well if you read the test it shows that it was close.. but i undertand their choice..like they said if you can live with the looks of the audi its the better car..
its more suited for familys its a larger car..
but the fact is i cant live with its looks so i chose the ML.. im sure Q7 besides the looks is as good if not better in some deparments..
afterall its german

 

[Deutsch]

The Q7 is a better made, more durable prospect. Probably drives better too. I'll be curious to know if a performance version is on the cards for sometime in the future. Though it would be very pointless.

 

[LaArtist]

better made?? how do you know this?

It's an Audi. You are something else T.A., lol, question everrryyyyything. Makes you more knowlegable.

 

[LaArtist]

lol man you are funny just cause its a audi it has to be better built than all competitors.. ohh i wish life was so easy my friend..haha

 

[Deutsch]

Not really. IMO, Audi has superb build quality, better than the majority.

 

[LaArtist]

PS
Anyways pointless discussion..no need to go further..

How are you going to tell me what I do and don't know? LoL, I've sat in both cars for a long period of time. Time enough for me to make a solid decision on which one I like more. Yes, this discussion is pointless.

 

[LaArtist]

LOL thnx for the new information..now couldnt you tell me that when i asked you how do you know??
it sounded like you just thought generally audi had better quality so that means that the q7 also has it..
ive only sat in the ML it was pretty nice imo.. but i cant say much more cause i didnt sit in the q7.. so im gonna trust you for now..

PS
if you answer questions when asked things can be less complicated my man

No amount of parking aids will make this leviathan easy to deposit on urban streets, yet it offers much that the urban buyer is after from a family 4x4, including seating for seven, a versatile interior, striking (if not beautiful) styling, performance and very high standards of finish.

Very nice, I like! now if only I had 50 grand and 6 kids.

The lights are integrated in the hatch which is much bigger than other SUVs and that gives you the impression of a big gap .The shunt lines of all Audis are among the smallest in the Auto industry.
