Even though it has two Turbos it has a slight Turbo lag that you don't get with the Supercharged engine.

I have three cars with the Supercharged 3.0 and love them. I'll be sorry to see them replaced with turbos.

I love the supercharged engine but with the Q8 having turbos in it! I have to wonder when the q7 will have turbos and not a 4 cylinder

Things worked out better than I expected and the dealer found an incoming 2017 vehicle with the specs I wanted! Already put the deposit down and it should be in at the end of March.

If the 2018 has the new turbo engine I won't even be mad. Already on my second vehicle with the current power plant and it is just so good. The mod community will have a blast with it though... so much more potential with a turbo.
