what is the point of a diesel in a luxury SUV if it only gets 19mpg? If it got 27+ then it would be huge news. If it was a dually and/or if it could pull a 10,000 lb boat then it would be big news. But otherwise the new X5 is more attractive...to me at least.

Yeah but how many of these Q7 beasts will you see on the road? I saw almost 10 X5's on my way to work today.

Unfortunately none!!! Audi says there are no plans to bring the V-12 diesel here any time soon. Big Tease.
