In speaking with a local Audi dealership Sales manager about the Q7...
He said that he's received good word regarding price structure and the V8 Q7 will base at 49-50k. By comparison, the Touareg V8 base is $44,750. Just FYI....

Re: Its just a little bit too big...and it also resembles a minivan, from the rear, IMO of course
It could prove to be a tough sell, although the price point is very good. But, the SUV segment is very crowded with stiff competition. Audi is also very late to the game here.
They'll have to draw customers from the Toureg and Cayenne(counter productive), and to some extent Lexus, Infinity, and BMW SUV's.
One final note, this is an American market(SUV's) almost exclusively. So, it has to debut well here and get out of the gate strong. Otherwise, it could wind up a big cash hole for Audi.

Not for me. My wife has a Lexus 300 and we need a bigger family hauler, preferably a 7 seater. We had a Suburban before (deisel) and it was a great size when we are all going somehere, but you don't need that much room daily.
A minivan was a horrifying realistic option there for a bit, but Mercedes just came out with a stretch version of its M class, and now there's the Q7. The R class Mercedes is a good people hauler, but has no room for cargo. Useless on a ski trip.
If Suburbans don'e come out in deisel before the Q7 hits the showroom, I'm hitting it.
