Audi Q7: Audacious SUV makes for grand motoring

Very nice review of the Audi Q7.

For all of the many mountain Audi-philes who had secretly hoped that Audi’s blend of cool German precision might suddenly be rolled up in a great honkin’ American-sized SUV finally got their wish in the larger-than-life Audi Q7.

Beefy, powerful and curiously substantial, the Q7 takes all of the poise of Audi’s time-tested Quattro AWD system (not to mention 350 horses of 4.2 liter V8 power), boosts it up, stretches it out and puts together an all-weather people-and-cargo carrier that’s cutting-edge stylish, comfortable.

The Q7’s clearly not the vehicle of choice for everyone, but for those seeking SUV largess with Audi quality and refinement, this may be a good choice; expect to see a load of them on the (paved) mountain roads this fall and winter.
