This is the best "Road Racer" version I've seen of the Q7 to date. Very nice looking and I LOVE that Lava Grey color (more than likely the color I will end up getting).

I won't be able to go that route though since I will be using mine on occasion for off road excursions. But nice looking all the same. Looks like a giant Sport Wagon!:thumb:

Very nicely done Q7. Even though I don't like those tires, I just think suv's shoudn't wear this type of tires.I don't see the point. Normal tire'd be better choice for me since I like going offroad ocasionally and even if I wasn't I'd want to try it just to see what it does off the road. And you can't really go offroad with these tires on.

Amen. Although like I said, this is the best looking Q7, it's not something I could use (too low, and wrong tires).

But is still looks very nice!:heart:

Come on guys, dont you realy think you can go ''offroading'' in any modern SUV.

They are just to soft in any way for that.

If you want ''offroad'', buy Land Rover Defender, that is only ''Spartan'' off-roader left on market.

G class is FANTASTIC offroader but to exclusiv and with to meny luxury options for real offroad drive, earlyer you could buy G class with very low level (nothing) of all that luxury ''gizmos''.
Allmost all emergency services in europe have those for many years.

So Q7 is just ok like this for summer and just other tyres for winter.

Just my opinion,

ANDY

Andy,
that's true. But you can atleast have some fun off the road. But not with those tires on the Q7. I still thing it is a beautiful car!-So far this is the only reason I see to drive it.

Why I'd buy a Suv?
Main reason for me'd be that I CAN go offroad. If I wouldn't want to go offroad I'd buy A6 Avant 4.2 or S6 Avant which has same space or is bigger than most of Suv(ok ok not than the Q7-But that is bigger then any other Suv).. It'd give me same performance/comfort/safeness as the suv BUT with much better Handling, it would be much more quite at high speeds, it wouldn't be that heavy(=less consumption)..

(just to add, the third seat row in Q7 is an option here. You've got to pay $1.2k to get it)

edit: I've seen a Cayenne capable of doing over 330kph(not sure, but very high over 300) ..It is very nice, VERY. But I just don't see a point..

Auid claims I CAN so therefor I WILL! :D

If it can't even handle "mild" offroad duties, I might as well get a A6 wagon.

I'll be taking the wife's off road and will be posting picks for proof.:thumb:

No, no, the Q7 will be her car, just like the RS 6 is mine! If she did that to my Beast without asking, I'd skin her, therefor I'll be giving her the heads up before I totally toast her Q7. Don't worry though... she's cool like that. :thumb:

My wife and I both fell in love with the Lava Grey (a darker version of Daytona Grey) one they had at the LA Auto Show (coincidently, the same color of the Q7 in this thread!:D ). Looks great in person under metal halides.:thumb:

One problem, I don't see that color as being one of the US options! That will mean special order only!:( One thing I noticed on the "Premium" order form: Sold Order Only Paint $750.00. Does this give me the option for any worldwide Q7 color for $750?

Time will tell I guess...

You should get any of offered colours, they are all made in same factory (corect me if i am wrong), only thing is amount of money that they are going to ask from you for that kind of

''EXCLUSIVITY"

Yeah, that's the thing. Pretty bogus if you ask me. Why Lava Grey isn't available here is anyone's guess. :doh: Oh well, we'll see what they hit me for that, as you say, "exclusivity".:rolleyes:

Don't worry Ben. Here you even have to pay almost $1k to get a metallic paint.
$1.150 for Lava Grey:rolleyes:

Dude, that is just retarded! In the US, only on certain colors do you need to pay for metallics (most main stream metallics are No Charge). On the A6 4.2, this option is $750.00. Add in the Euro to dollar ratio, and you guys are paying $1376.00 for Lava Grey!!! Dang, that hurts!

Check this out:

If you're going to buy the new A8L 6.0 quattro which here costs...ready?.... $ 147 000....even then....EVEN THEN you have to pay......ready? $1400 for metalic/pearl paint, $2800 for special paint's AND finally $3500 for Audi exclusive paints. :bigeyes: :bigeyes: THAT is even more retarded!


edit: the same A8L 6.0 quattro- It has in its standard such things as adative xenons, heated seats even Navi with dvd player but not damned metalic paint! ROFL:)))

In Germany are only white and black for free.
All other colors cost 800 Euros, according to the audi configurator.

Same here, only even black is considered a "metallic" and therfor it costs $$$ too. I think the price here is $750.00US for all colors. Looks like Lava Grey will be available (even though it doesn't show on the US website yet...).

Question, in Germany and elsewhere, is Tamo wood available with Ebony interior? It looks like in the US, it's only available with Espresso Brown ( puke: ) interior.

Great. Just peachy. It's not available here, but nice to know if I lived in Germany I could get it.:doh: (and yes George, if you're creepy around in this thread, same goes for the Recaros in my :addict: :D ).

Now another question if you don't mind, When is the adaptive cruise control available for the Q7? As of now, it's not showing. I'm taking the Mrs. down to the dealer on Saturday to order one, but want to hold off and get the cruise control as well (if it's not too long of a wait).
