Default Audi Q7

It looks like Audi is going to build it. Will it be coming here? I was very impressed with the Q7 after driving it. Wonder what kind of mileage a 500 h.p. v12 diesel gets?

Sorry if this is old stuff.

All I know is there'll be no other truck sporting 730+ pounds of torque in its price range. But a diesel V12 sounds really superfluous, as you can achieve that kind of power with fewer cylinders. The weight if a Q7 with a diesel V12 will be insane though. I'm guessing 3 tons easily.

It will definitely be a low-volume seller.

I read somewhere that it is supposed to get 20mpg. Everytime I read people say that, it usually mean the better number (highway mileage).

I would hate a diesel car getting high teens for mpg average.

Guess Audi assumed if you can pay an arm&leg for one, you probably don't give a dang about diesel price.

It's still going to be slow... 5.5 for the 0-60 it would seem.
