Sure hope that beige looks better in person than the photos.
I've sat in the Q7 and found it smaller than most of the journalists have claimed too. It's not bad, but not 'generous' as I've read so many places. Also, I find the Touareg seems better built with more expensive materials and bigger more comfy seats - the Q7 seat cushions seemed a bit short and narrow.
Also sad that the large 350hp motor doesn't seem to jump off the line. With all that power, you'd think it would be a monster, but this thing does carry ground crushing weight.
On the plus side, it does have quirky upscale looks that are more interesting than many competitors, and it's priced a few thousand less than comparable ML's and X5's (which don't offer 3rd rows) with more horsepower (whether than translates into acceleration, I don't know).
I think it should do well, but after waiting for it for so long, I can't help but be a tad disappointed. Still, I think it's a good choice in segment for combining a bunch of good attributes into one package.
