No thanks...IMHO it's a dog...and it floats like my old '81 Buick LeSabre that I drove in college.

I get my C5 back in the next few days...not soon enough.

Makes me wonder: where is Audi going???

Don't forget your A6 weights 3900lbs and the Q7 weighs 5800lbs and has similar power.

Default 2nd. For what it is, I think it's fantastic. I'd take a Q7 3.6 Premium over my aged 2.8 any day.

Got a chance to rent one for the weekend during a recent trip to Maui and loved it. I was surprised how poised it was for an SUV and how much low end grunt there is in sport mode.

It may float compared to a sport sedan but it's not too bad IMO compared to other SUV's out there.

Go drive ANY other MFG's SUV or crossover, and compare THAT to the Q7...

Default I've got both and you can't compare the performance of a Q7 with an A6...

thats foolish. Like everyone else said go drive an SUV then come back to the Q7 - not much else out there comes close.
