Is it just me, or did anyone else also cringe at the announcement of a Diesel passenger vehicle, which can't be sold in North America, and made during the greatest scandal in recent memory, which is Dieselgate? This might be the best example of bad timing from the Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) since... forever.

Audi should quickly launch a 4.0TT V8 high-line Q7 (platform-mate of the Bentayga), perhaps even LWB, for $100,000-$125,000.

I'm not sure if this boy-racer SQ7 would do it in the US - its a little gaudy. They should go the other direction and tart-up the interior with more leather and wood veneer.

That would sell well too.

Yep, those black wheels and blacked-out grille make it bad-ass. C'mon Audi—where are your fu*king brains? Totally agree with The Steve (see above).
