AUTO SPIES EXCLUSIVE: Audi Q7 to be first SUV on earth with this feature



The new Audi Q7 is a very intelligently designed SUV with thoughtful features, along with a host of really cool breakthrough technologies, making their appearance for the first time on an SUV.

The one feature were most excited about and a first in the SUV market, is the addition of second generation active cruise control, like on the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

This Audi is a really nice late edition to the SUV market. I like the looks and if only they offered to us in the US a really nice diesel motor....

..Audi continues with great design. Furthermore, they are first to have LED headlights (s8 DRL). I love the way this thing looks. I can't wait until this new interior ends up in the a4 later this year.

Europe has designed some really great diesel engines here as of late. I hope once America switches over to the new cleaner diesel fuel that a lot more of these great engines become available here. They get about as good of gas milage as a hybrid....imagine coupling a diesel with electric!! I bet one could get 100mpg! Hopefully Audi and VW will add to or expand their current diesel line in the US.

That big rigs can still operate in these States that have these air quailty laws.....and pour more soot than any of these motors ever would.....puzzling to me. Luckily I live in a state that doesnt care about pollution(not that that is a good thing) Well maybe someday ... or maybe ethanol could do something....However back to topic, this Audi Q7 seems like it will be a fine drive.

I'm pretty sure the RR Sport system is first generation--meaning that it only functions above 30 MPH or so. Second gen systems work down to zero, and thus supposedly in stop and go traffic.

Having seen this beauty IN PERSON 6 months ago, the Fit & Finish is typical unrivaled Audi. The anteater comment has to be coming from a BMW or MB or perhaps a Lexus Salesperson.....This is a nice addition for Audi. When the R8 arrives the others will be running back to the drawing boards..............:)

I wonder if Audi has finally figured out why their cars eat Cat. Converters & ignition coils?
