Sometimes, after the poor wax my car, or after cleaning my gold, I can see my reflection that way, but all in all, no use for mirrors much.

It looks good, handles well, goes fast, and the base model is closely priced to the MDX, ML, and even loaded X3. What's the problem with it HRR? Seriously, I was considering getting one next year - is there something I should know about? I like the Cayenne.

Nothing makes my day better than when I get to drive by a bus stop or a city bus and flip everyone off as I drive by going straight to my destination without stopping. Then I proceed to say a prayer, thanking God I'm not lazy. I hope gas gets to $10 a gallon to keep as many of these idiots off the road and out of my way as possible. I shouldn't have to be subjected to taking financial care of the poor and still have to look at them.

There are probably plenty of us out here as well who would gladly take the bus if we could. But sadly every city dosen't have a quality and reliable public transport system like NY or DC or ATL or LA. I'd much rather sit my happy arse on the bus and save the $80 I spend on gas every month on booze.

I'm sick of hearing about this shit. Be an adult and a man and suck it up. Can't afford it? Get a third job you lazy bastards. Just quit being a little bitch about fuel prices. "Mommy, mommy, my vagina hurts!" Besides, I'm all for higher gas prices. It keeps the poor uninsured bald tire riding douche-nozzles off of the streets that they don't pay taxes for and never learned how to drive on properly in the first place. Not being able to afford the doubling of any commodity annually proves you're not responsible enough to be trusted to drive with the rest of society that earns a living and contributes to the system. Build me an SUV that runs on the bones of the poor and I'll be the first in line to buy it... two of them in fact. F**king irresponsible babies!!!!

The fact that we allow them to sell their vehicles here is a PRIVELAGE to them, they don't alow U.S dealerships in japan, not last time I checked. So stop your bleeding heart liberal attitude and face the facts that foreign countries are trying to buy us out a little at a time.

SUV sales are falling across the board and you want to open a plant to make more? Why not go back to what you were good at. Making small affordable cars for the masses. Q7 may be Audi's best seller right now... but give it 6 months with gas prices at $4+ a gallon, it will be a totally different story. Most Americans are still reeling in shock from the steep climb of fuel prices, but once everything settles and the cost of fuel is spread out to everything we buy even the upper middle class folks are going to be looking for ways to cut spending and hold onto that money they worked so hard to make. The first thing to go is going to be that super-lux SUV. VW just needs to drop the whole lineup. SUV sales are falling across the board and you want to open a plant to make more?

You do look extremely smart, but either X3 or X5 come with the same base I6 mill and the same trannny. X3 was a smaller version of the first gen X5. As far as passion for driving: they are truck-like vehicles, they have passion for selling product at high price because of propeller on the hood. As far as profits go, what the difference if it 6.5% or 9%? The one who makes 9% should be considered smarter by making more. It is absurd to complain about prices of Asians compare to BMW, Porsche and M-B. But that's not why you hate Japanese. You hate them because they are different race then you are. You just a racist, perhaps with lipstick in real life, but a racist. foster1, try to come down. You do look extremely smart, but either X3 or X5 come with the same base I6 mill and the same trannny.

Obviously the 'haves' in our society are rolling right along. I pulled up next to a Q7 the other day and thought I was next to a battleship. I swear if the thing was any bigger they could add a shuffleboard court and a promenade deck. I just can’t get over how many of this trio they sell.

X5 and the X3 are alot differnt, different chassi's and are made in two differnt countrys. 3series crossover= x3 with xdrive all wheel drive. 5series crossover = x5 same xdrive system different power trains. different mechanically, but all share the passion of a bmw driving theme.
