Audi needs an SUV, glad to see them bringing one to the market, much as I dislike them.
mmarshall, they're ditching the allroad. I'd imagine this new SUV is to combat the Touareg, XC90, M-class, X5, MDX, 9-7x, etc.

It will be interesting to see what price they set the Q7 at. If it's not too much higher than the Toureg ( i can't imagine it being much higher) you will definitely see Cannibalising of Toureg sales.
It all really depends the car's quality, if it's the usual Audi build then i cant see why people would pay more for another Toureg (without the incentive of a Porsche badge).

allroad is gone after this year. If I can find reference to the fact, I'll post.

I will take your word for the All-Road's demise....you are a credible person. However, if you do find a source, do post it, just out of curiosity.

Pike's Peak Concept if anyone's curious.
Still not a fan. The X5 IMO is the best looking small SUV followed closely by the RX330. However, with a feared future in mind as well as Lexus reliability, I'd choose the RX.
The Audi grille is getting way out of hand, and although sometimes it's good to make a statement, too much can be...too...much. Aztek anyone?
