Demand for Audi’s new large Q7 crossover has been stronger than expected, according to trade publication Automotive News. Twelve inches longer than the Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg, the Q7 was launched in a time when many consumers were moving away from large SUVs. But the German automaker sold 1,900 Q7s in the U.S. last month — 700 more than the company had expected. Audi product planner Filip Brabec told Auto News the Q7 has been the “highest pre-sold car that we have ever had.” Demand has also been strong in Europe. Audi is even considering increasing production to keep up with demand.

I have seen several of these on the road and they just don’t look right. I’ll give it time.
I prefer the Touareg from VAG.
I think the new X5 will be the best looking SUV of all of these, and not just b/c I am a BMW whore.

What a lame vehicle. I’d say Audi is being “Generous” with their deals just so they can move the inventory off the lot while they still have a market. Because everyone knows once the Lamda SUV’s come Audi’s Pile o crap won’t stand a chance in hell of competing.
It’ll be a first step towards a long road of eventually abandoning the US market of course. The American Revolution has got Audis number

Well, the Q7 is the best SUV out there right now. In addition, Audi has priced the Q7 CHEAPER than the equivalent A6 so as far as SUVs go it is a bargain.

Now Audi is generous with incentives, all of the european makes are with the exception of Land Rover, it is just that Audi has them in the form of subvened leases.
How else can you lease a 80,000 dollar A8 for 800 bucks a month.

This isn’t that suprising… as long as it is a good (looking, lasting and performing) car you will see people buying it.
Now I don’t know about it being better than it’s competitors, I haven’t seen one of these around here and haven’t been in one yet. All I can say looking at pictures is I like it but the design must grow on me.

Rover,
I don’t who where you are getting your numbers from because as per Audiusa, an A8 4.2 L Quattro which costs $77,360, would cost you about $1245.35 per month, based on a 36 month lease and a $2000 down payment.
Jon.

I am just repating what a client told me that just leased an A8. I have no doubt that they are having a selective memory snice they are complaning a Range Sport with a lower MSRP leases for hundreds of dollars more then their precious A8.
They are probably forgeting that they put down 5,000 grand or traded some car in on the lease.

Those Lambda SUV’s are going to be pigs. And they’ll handle like crap of course.

the A8 can be a tough car to purchase, since the production is limited on them
