Even if we leave out the optional independent aux heating system available on most of the globe with diesel models (which in cold weather makes this go/no go vehicle due to long diesel warmup) this is another bright decision of dead brains in AoA headquarters. Wonder where they research the market before doing this? Detroit?

Does AoA have BMW & Mercedes double agents working in their marketing department.

In the UK you couldn't order a Q7 without Air (I think) but I did drive a Cayenne without it and it was awful. Maybe US roads are better than the rest of Europe but I doubt it.
