I am shopping for a new SUV and RX350 and Q7 are the most likely choices.
For Q7, I know everyone is talking about TDI but what is the real difference in performance? I do not have an opportunity to test drive both side by side unfortunately.
What I am looking for is:
- which one is more dynamic (accelerates better) at 80-100 km per hour speed? I am no worried about taking off from the traffic light first but like an ability to accelerate while I am driving at a cursing speed. I actually hate when a car takes off really fast and then looses all the dynamics.

It's too bad you can't drive both of them out on the hi way and try a few passes. You'd see your decision to buy an Audi Q7 is a good one.

I'm in the far North Idaho panhandle about 100km from Canada and my A6 TDI does fine in the winter, although I do keep it in a garage heated to 4°C. I live 0.7km up a steep (16%) unpaved road and the Quattro drive with snow tires has no problem getting up the road. The car handles like it was built for winter.
That said I drive my Acura MDX AWD with chains when the going get tough because I think the A6 it too beautiful to let all those crazy drivers who don't know how to drive on snow to take a shot at my Audi. I don't care if they hit the MDX, it's my wife's car. I tolerate it and respect it but i don't like it.
