I am waiting for the movie to come out.
I think George Clooney should be cast in the role of Larry...if not then Weird Al Yankovic

Are you kidding? Just LOOK at it! Every family get together, it never fails .. the 'Prodigal Son' of the family and his fatal attraction wife show up in their incredibly overweight, overscaled white Q7 .. and I always think to myself ...'it looks like a Dust Buster ..' then his wife opens her mouth, I last about an hour and leave .. and as I glance in the rear view at that big bulbous white whale I thank the almighty that I'm NOT HIM! And yes, I MAY be talking about thier Audi ....

I've always thought that Christopher Walken would be cast in that role as a matter of course ..

Oh, I didn't think of him. But yes, definitely. In the TRUE ROMANCE role, of course

I was actually thinking more along the lines of 'In the Comfort of Strangers'

The Q7 can hold its coolant as well ....
Audi interior design is great in general, but the Q7 is due for a freshening and the interior is pretty blah compared to the new Cayenne, IMO. It's also nearly a foot longer and a 1/2 ton heavier than the Cayenne. If you need the 7 seat capability, that's fine, but otherwise it's a real pig compared to a new P!G.

Wait. What? NO! Weren't you speaking Sicilian in an OT thread as recently as last night?

Most importantly, aren't you a Siclian Jew?

Part Russian Jew...with a sense of humor...go figure.

Actually, I could see Gary Oldham from True Romance playing the part of Larry.

I did some good research about the Q7, spoke to 2 Q7 owners as well. The owners said that although they like their vehicle, they would not keep it past its warranty.

On the research part, this included forums, edmunds, true delta, etc, and their reliability were not up to the par. Biggest complaint was the placement of cupholders right next to the MMI interface/controls. Spill your drink once and it will cost you $2500. Also, those pano roofs leaks like crazy and a lot of folks found it difficult to fix.

We are much happier (so far) w/ the 08 CS.

Gary Oldman as Zorg!

I wanted to find a high res photo, just to confuse the 6speed people even more, but couldn't. Sorry!



If all else fails, there's also Gary Oldman as Sid Vicious.

I think there's a very high chance of him being Sicilian there as well.

Excellent point.
Cayenne owners are much different in that they look forward to non warranty ownership (i.e. being 'naked').
In fact, most people are willing to pay for service out of pocket, rather than send PCNA the bill for a warranty repair.
