[Biggie]

ya but u have to admit that the only about ten percent of ppl that buy and SUV only drive it in the city and personlly i think this Generation BMW X5 is really hot and if u look at the specs of the Q7 its almost Simmilar to a Tourege or what ever they call that thing but then the only suv that really sick the is the 2004-2005 range Rover HSE i personally have one so...ya

[Esperante]

X5 killer=Porsche Cayenne

[taz_rocks_miami]

Considering the market is SUV crazy, I'm sure it'll do just fine. :)

[crisis]

Considering it doesnt have to have any real off road ability and only has to be extemely powerful, handle nearly as good as a modern sedan , look pimpin in black with mirror tinted windows, 24" spinners and dumped suspension, Im sure it will be a further needless addition to a pointless area of the market.

[white devil]

for me the X5 4.8l is the most beautiful SUV ever made.... The Q7 sure will sell first cause everybody will want a new looking SUV so the first year will be tought on all other SUV(Porcshe, ML,X5, Range Rover) but then later it will come back as it is right now... i think the X5 is the best selling one these past 2 years

Anyways X5 4.8l for me

[NuclearCrap]

The Q7 sure can kill the X5 but probably not the Cayenne Turbo, Porsche is pushing the Cayenne tp 500 hp.

[QuattroMan]

well not really Taz, we have at list 7 SUV's in trade with in two weeks,gas prices are three dollars,you would think we would have less traffic right!!? HELLLLLLL NO! People just trading there SUV's in...

[QuattroMan]

do you think Q7 can change that?

[white devil]

do you think Q7 can change that?
well i think the X5 looks better but their are many audi lovers in this world just like u :D waiting 4 their SUV and i think it will be better this year cause its new on the market.... anyways the BMW should start making a new X5 soon (in like 1 or 2 years to keep on compeeting

[taz_rocks_miami]

I was wondering when gas prices would have an effect on SUV sales. Maybe Audi picked the wrong moment to bring their own SUV into the market. As far as I can tell, gas prices won't be droping for a while. :(

I know it is a bad time Taz, but we have one advantage,"I think", Audi has this new engine called "FSI",you can actually use regular gas,that should give us the upper-hand,

Please tell me about bro! I've been waiting for this SUV,my wife has the 2002 Allroad,we are thinking about trading it in....hope it is a nice looking SUV.

the 500 hp is nothing compaired to the 700 hp X5 lemans

[Vindesh17]

It will do great but I don't think it will topple the X5. The X5 looks more muscular IMO.

[white devil]

it looks nice from all the pic ive seen.. but i have one problem and its those side mirrors theyr HUGGEEE.. and it looks too much like the Touareg

[fpv_gtho]

The X5 has so many years market presence now, the Q7 will have to be notably better than the X5 to maintain an advantage.

[taz_rocks_miami]

I know it is a bad time Taz, but we have one advantage,"I think", Audi has this new engine called "FSI",you can actually use regular gas,that should give us the upper-hand,

Being able to use regular gas might help out sales Tom, but if gas prices keep going up...who knows? But since you sell Audis, I hope it does well. :)

I just took a closer look at the pick you posted, that looks like one long SUV!!! Is it the same length as the Chevy Suburban?? Looks like it might be.

[henk4]

I am in favour of everything that kills the X-5. This audi however would however come next on my list of "cars to be killed" (on those list are also: Cayenne, Hummer, M-Class, etc)

Don't trust this man with any weapon :D

Personally i'd like to see the Q7, the X5, The Cayenne, etc to curl up and die.

*sighs* at least the 500 hp Porsche is in production, now that kills X5. Even if the X5 LM is in production it would cost way much more than the Porsche. And ppl don't judge which car is better simply by looking comparing the speed, who would wanna drive a SUV with bucket seats anyway? That X5 LM is just a plain show car.

[Amaru]

A lot of people who drive SUV's sure ain't caring about the gasprices, they care about how fly their cars look rolling down Sunset. :)

[The BIG BAD]

dudes the audi got some hidden weapons that the bmw aint got.

1. It got air suspention witch can change height so it will handel better on roads
2. it supposed to be getting a new fangled fsi v10
3.it looks a damm sight better that most suv on the market

Thats why it did not go in production.. if u read what it says under the pics u will see that it was made to test bmw's X5 and its ability and went pretty well since it was faster than the Z8 by 25 sec... and i just wouldnt buy it i just wanted to mantion it and say that porch cayen turbo is not stronger than all X5s

[clutch-monkey]

this is a real x5 killer :D

[ZeTurbo]
