Can you guess what Mike Denton, star of Desperate Housewives drives?

Lava Grey is stunning on the Q7. Good choice!

I certainly hope he got the 19" rims, and not the ones shown in the picture. Those are beautiful.

I'm glad he likes his Audi, two thirds of Audi owners don't like their vehicles enough to buy another Audi. Statistics suggest his next vehicle will not be an Audi.

I hope you guys mean the 20" wheels. The 19's pictured don't look too bad, but after seeing Q7's all day, there is no bigger change I've seen on a car just from the wheels. The Q7 with 19" wheels looks like dog crap run over twice. The 20" design makes the Q7 a very attractive SUV.

Oh, yes, I mean the 20s. I hate the 19s. They look like flowers- ugh.

If BMW gave him a new X5 he would love it, if M-Benz gave him a GL he would love it, hell I bet he would even love a Cadillac SRX if he got it for free.

But if Acura gave him an MDX, he wouldn't like it very much.

I sincerely believe that he bought the car himself.

You're right...but, I'm a pretty good judge of character and he was genuinely impressed and went into way more detail than the average star about the finite parts that he was impressed with...so I think he really meant it.

S4, I hate to say it but it sounds like you have a crush on this Desperate Housewives guy. You're defending him with your life.

i respect lexus for their reliability but their suv's are all dated... the only one close to the Q7 would be the GX and even that one is really underpowered... and it wouldn't hurt lexus to be a bit more cutting edge in their styling.. very bland... esp. the RX

I hate the GX! It's horrible!

RX and LX have places in Lexus's lineup... but GX?! What?

lexus dude3, u are so arogant and pathetic. Lexus is no where near any of the german brands yet. Soon they will be, but for now, they are still for wanna be enthusiasts who just care about the name. They are nice cars yes, but don't overexaggerate how good it is to make urself feel superior. Reason is what you need. Go visit logical.

Yes, we should all follow the good example of LexusHater.

Of course, then this site would double it's current level of moronic posts.

There is no way Audi gave him a Q7 for free, he paid full price because he can and the Q7 had just come out.

Smirk! So is the order of the day to bash Lexus even on an Audi based thread? Jeez, some of you guys are seriously going overboard.

LexusHater-
"Did I mention that Lexus are rebadged Toyota's? No? Well they are. Just thought you'd like to know."

Did I mention that a rebadged Toyota is still better than a German car? No? Well they are. And also an Audi is an expensive Volkswagen. Just thought you oughta know.

^ Why do you care so much what others think?

I never said German design was bad. In fact, I think that German design is really good for cars. But, unfortunately, they dress the outside up to cover what's on the inside, a piece of crap.

I absolutely love this SUV.

I'm afraid we enthusiasts get our heads caught in the gutter sometimes fellas (and ladies, blueice). Just because we favor a particular brand doesn't mean we can't appreciate a good car when we see one, and the Q7 is a great one. And so are the rest of them. I think that all the companies are developing great vehicles for this segment.

Now if they started making larger rims stock rather than optional, then we wouldn't have people driving around with small rims on nice cars/suvs which make them look less expensive than they are.

One thing I've learned is that, if it's included in the price, then the consumer is glad to have it. If it's optional, they will think twice. So what, mark up the price a few hundred dollars, make the larger rims standard, sell it, and you have a very happy consumer with a vehicle that represents the brand image.

Very good post!

I love it too. GL who?

i love the q7, i think it stomps over the gl.

Saw two Q7s today. A very nice looking SUV out on the street.

Yes, but sadly it looks horrible in pictures, from some angles at least.

On the road, it's completely different.

Odd.

"On the road, it's completely different."

You mean that it's even worse in person. My thoughts exactly.

Nope. Have you ever seen the Q7 in metal? It looks very nice for an SUV. Like S4cabriofoxone has said the Q7 doesn't look that great in photos but trust me, it looks very nice actually. You shold go check it out, or wait until you see one driving by.

before you comment.

I see one every day, my neighbor owns one. I think that it is too cheap looking for a 55k vehicle. The taillights are that of the A4, the headlights are the same as the A6. It's just plain boring.

Ha LOL you drive a Lexus so don't talk.

So what are the best lookin' rims Audi offers for the Q7?

I may buy this SUV.

We all know that you live in a dog kennel under a bridge and you use the local library to post your comments. You should look into buying a house before a Q7.

The optional 20 inchers are very nice. The optional 21 inch (maybe 20) inch S Line wheels are also very nice.

lexusis350, I told you I am considering the LS460L.

chewy, the S Line are 21 inch wheels and they're the ones to get.

Woohoo, say something nice about Lexus and I rack up all kinds of points.

Boosting you down LexusHater.

"Were you formerly known as "audiot," or "BMW530i" before he got banned for foul language?"

Will, audiot doesn't like any car at all, it seems. He bashes on Audi too, as well as the other Germans.

oh will, i thought i'd say, i like the lexus LS460 now. but there isn't any mention of a LWB on the UK site, which is a bit odd. but then again the best sellers here are the SWB and the LS has lots of space anyway.
the interior trim is different for europe, i'm sure. the Sat-nav screen surround is dark grey not silver, and one major reason i like is the option of white leather (i know it's a bit pimptastic), which merc do but only designo. their site is really good too.

will, this guy is way aorse than bmw 530i, bmw530i is quite nice and nothing like this.

Will, to answer your questions regarding fake leather and interior bits, Audi and Mercedes offer cloth or leatherette seating in their vehicles as well. It is by no means BMW-specific. I'm not sure why leatherette is such a problem for you, I don't think cloth is any better than fake leather, which at least "seems" high class. BMW offers cloth as well, just not in the U.S. (except on the already discontinued M3).

LexusHater,

I hope you know that the crappy Chrysler/Maserati convertible is part of that heritage you speak of.

Yes "Designo" is a ridiculous $7,000 for what's basically a different interior color.

The Amaretto interior on the A8 is better than any Designo I've ever seen, and it doesn't cost a penny extra. It's a shame all manufacturers aren't that generous.

BMW530i got banned! I don't know whether to laugh or...no that's it. HA HA HA. It's about time.

sorry, I thought I hit the reply button on Will's comment.

LexusHater, there is no need to add fuel to the fire. Autospies is polluted enough already.

I'll say this once: Lexus is a great brand. They don't appeal to everyone because they might not be as sporty or passionate, but they lead in certain areas, important areas.

Please stop the bashing.

How did you get a girlfriend? Even better, how did you get a dog to go out with you?

Could you stop now?
Lets get back to q7.

Wow Lexushater ,
this is about audi not about hating lexus
some people love lexus some people dont you seem like one of those people that like to buy a german car and just hate the japanese or korean brands
some people like lexus .
deal with it

Hey Lexushater keep up the good work - your posts are so crazy they undermine all the real Lexus haters' posts and make Lexus the hero.

Audi gave one to footballer David Beckham - I read they were pretty unhappy that he laoded it with $40K of options!

Days after thieves stole his armor-plated BMW X5 by using high-tech software to start the car's engine electronically, soccer star David Beckham was given a set of free wheels by Audi.

The German automaker loaned Beckham a loaded Q7 for one year on the condition that he drive it to practice every day.

Beckham picked a Q7 4.2 FSI in phantom black with pearl-effect paint, a black leather interior, a car phone, a flat-screen TV, a Bose stereo, satellite navigation and keyless entry. The Daily Record in Scotland said the car is worth an estimated $125,000. Real Madrid's star players get an Audi each year as part of the club's sponsorship deal with the automaker.

The Fake Leather you are talking about is called MB-Tex, but most cars don't come with it, only the lower models of the C, E class have it.

in europe its different. the E550 doesn't have standard leather, i think the cheapest car with it standard is probably the clk550. orS320cdi, i'm not sure which is cheaper.

argh stupid me the ML 320cdi SE has leather standard, that is the cheapest merc with leather.

The ML320 CDI does, and the elegant E550 doesn't? What's wrong with British Mercedes?

Well, actually, I'm pretty sure that all the non-AMG E-Class's have Tex standard.

And then, when you click on the leather, it adds about $3,000 to the sticker.

not even tex here. it's cloth.

oh and the e won't come with leather standard because they are used as taxis.
