DETROIT AUTO SHOW: Audi announces US plans for Q7 3.0L TDI

Sweet, a bit later than I thought but I am sure it will be well worth the wait. And by that time it could come here with 250 hp, possibly more torque and lower fuel consumption likely. And as you read it, it won't be affected much at all by the new EPA ratings, unlike some cars that we know.

That is going to be an awesome engine and definitely will say some people looking for SUVs in that market/class.
