Not for the Q7. He mentioned the 2.0T would come later in 2016 but no mention of e-Tron. They did have an A3 e-Tron there and there is actually a product manager for electric vehicles, so Audi seems pretty serious about the technology. So I suspect it will come eventually but no idea on timing.

Audi Q7 product manager confirmed Q7 will go on sale in January. He wasn't sure but guessed the order book will open in September. No final pricing or EPA numbers yet. Most of what he talked about has already been disclosed. The news items are that the US will get the 3.0 gas and diesel engines to start. 2.0T will come later but all will have Quattro. The S-Line package will not be available in the US. Virtual cockpit will be an option. We will not get some European options due to NTSA regs, the big one is the power folding trailer hitch which they had on display on a Euro model and it very trick. Air suspension will be an option.
No S-Line package?

The US didn't get the Sport Style package until the 2015 model year, wonder if it's going to be the same type of deal here where we don't get the full package. Audi has 3 versions of the S Line package on Audi.de, just the exterior package, the exterior package with LED headlights and 20" wheels and then the full blown S Line Sport Package.

I just celebrated my 1-year anniversary of my Q5, and my wife may be interested in the Q7. A year ago our dealer suggested we wait on a Q7 due to the pending redesign. Well, the same dealer is now telling us that Audi will be skipping the 2016 model year Q7 and issue the newly 2017 Q7 sometime in 2016, but no idea of timing. I'm thinking January seems very optimistic and late spring '16 is more likely...

Still no order guide and probably a 4 month build time so my guess is February unless that order guide drops in the next few weeks. A few months ago they were expecting the order guide in August/September but still nothing.

Anyone have any further news on order book arrival? Has the new version of the 3.0 TDI been certified yet? Makes me wonder if the whole VW group desiel emissions problem could further delay the Q7 arrival?
