Just get a Touareg!  ;D

Funny thing is VW brought the 07 Touareg 3.6L V6 back in May, and are soon to introduce the new 07 4.2L V8 this or next month.
But Audi brought the 07 Q7 4.2L V8 first, then the lower model 3.6L V6 just now.  ::)

Ran up against a 2-3 year old Audi to-day that was modded up with all the body kit and big Fart pipe out the rear. We ran from 3 lights and he was not happy at all after all 3 runs. Either had the 6 in it or a suped up 4. Don't know as I never seen the rear end of it at all. I was too far ahead every time.  :) ;D

I think Audi is doing the right thing by trying to position themselves as more of a upper luxury player - introducing the V8 a very short time ahead of the VR6 is a small way to help. They need to for image reasons to shed their also-ran second-thought non-top-tier (BMW/Benz/Lexus) status. That said, this market's SUVs are geared toward lower priced V6's so they need to play in that arena, which they will be doing now.

Audi is on the right track also I feel for emphasizing their S and RS models. The AMG and BMW M-Series models are really popular, and their visual appeal gives them lots of street cred and desirability - which transfers to other more sedate models at the dealership. Even offering the S-Line across the board is a good move.

I wish them luck as the underdog who's had polished products for years now.

Road tested a Q7 3.6 and a Touareg 3.6 within 24 hours. Those 2 vehicles felt totally different even though they share engine, transmission and more. Totally knocked down by the Q7 but walked away from the Touareg feeling it was overweight and underpowered. Easily got the Touareg to engage stability control on highway ramp but could never get the Q7 to do anything wrong. Engine note totally different. I wonder if the Q7 salesman tricked me and put me at the wheel of a 4.2???

A little unrelated, but was following a new A4 Avant and was disapointed to see that Audi has doubled the brake light as the turn signal as well. That is, the brake light signals along with the seperate signnal light.

Although I must say I've seen a lot of new Audi's around these days. Mostly A4's.

Interesting. Are you sure the Touareg had the 3.6 280hp? They're actually not that far apart in weight I don't think, but agree they are very different in execution, character, and feel.

MKII, do you have Audi numbers for the month? I want to see if the 3.6L intro has moved more Q7's.

Thanks!
