I don't like the new wheels.... The old ones are better looking. I like having a deeper lip to the wheels

V12 turbo'd SUV

sounds great, but how many of those would sell in the US, especially at $4.50 - $4.75 per gallon. Oh, and for over 300,000 U.S dollars

I dont know about $300k....

thats alot $$ for an SUV...still cheaper then the Brabus GV12 by $200k...

I think Audi was planning on making a Q series S-Line TDI V12 SUV with over 700TQ and 20+ MPG ...but canceled.

Approximately a dozen G63 AMG's with the naturally aspirated V12 (444bhp) were made, a few of which are in Dubai. The vehicle I'm talking about was a special build of a G65 bi-turbo based on a 2006 G55. I have a picture somewhere...it's white with a Brabus styling kit and 20" wheels and headlights.
