Hey Alex--nice looking interior on the Q7...they kinda dis the front grill, though, "that will scare small children" and 11mpg (yikes!).

Dude, thanks alot. I just spent about an hour or so watching all these damn videos!

But really - thanks for the link.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but as a long time Audi driver as well (since 1980) I LOVE the new corporate front ends on Audis and salivate over the new V10 S8!!!

Thanks for the video..
I love it, but gotta be an error on 0-60.. the Q7 is 350HP, and audi site says 7.0
the 8 sec 0-60 was for the 3.6 version.. hmmmm it's same weight as the Cayenne S, and Touareg, that;s weird, who's driving my mom?lol

alex911s

Somebody prove this wrong, because I'll backout if the 8.3 seconds is true..I'd rather go with a Cayenne V6...that's rediculous..really bugging me at the moment,haha

stats from the audi site:
Performance
0-60 mph in seconds: 7.1
Top track speed: 130 mph*
EPA fuel economy estimates (city/highway)*: n/a mpg

Okay.. I'm going to say this, because you're a forum buddy. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING? I think someone else questioned you on this... You've taken a beating in the Cayenne V6/S/CTT trades.. You loved the vehicle (since you don't tow) and you "over bought" financially. Alex, Alex, Alex.. Find a used S (not a V6, sorry V6 guys he's used to S/Turbo HP) and get back in the game. With CPO you should be able to find one cheaper than the new Audi and you'll have it until 100K miles. And you won't have to listen to the Hawaii 5 Oh theme music because you won't be naked like the rest of us from 50K to 100K.
Now just DO IT. And book 'um Dano if he goes with that crap of an Audi!

alex911s

Hmmm, madfox is telling me to buy another Cayenne? and Lewis says goodluck with the Q7?
and SKL says he likes the Audi snout? what;s going on? lol
I think I'm gonna need meds....
people in fourtitude audi forum telling me it's not all about 0-60 on SUV's, oh no
that may be a good reason for me to stay in the rennlist cayenne forum

...just out of curiousity, has anyone test driven an SRT8 Cherokee? 0-60 is about the same as a new Cayman S... faster than CTT.

evil.

i think the cayenne beats it on versatility... i know it;s fast, but towing and off road capability got affected...

I'm just curious... is it "full throttle 4 wheel drift with tire smoke wafting off" fast?

alex911s

On a straight line maybe,, i'm sure the cayenne will kill that on the track
