Yeah, one of them will work every time you turn the key/push the start button for years to come.

I would totally do wheels if this van had a top view camera. But I know my wife will curb the wheels when going through drive-through windows. Our X5M had top view and she never curbed a single wheel. Then we got the Q7 which didn't have it and she's hit about 5-6 curbs now.

Interested in your comments on the Q7 diesel. I test drove one years ago and it was an absolute turd. I was frustrated and annoyed after a few miles. Then I test drove the Touareg TDI, which should have performed the same... but it didn't. Night and day difference. I am not sure what explains it, but it was as if it had another 100hp with the same powertrain. It also shifted more smoothly. I always wanted to test out a Cayenne diesel to see where it fell, but never got the chance.

Your grammar indicates you're a source worth trusting.

So you're telling me you drool over antiquated, badly built overpriced cars and hate on a manual 300 hp I4T, 500 hp super car and the best/most fun cheap car on sale today?

If FCA could produce something worth buying again that wasn't an overburdened, outdated platform weighing over two tons I might be interested.

Allow me to settle this matter... The verdict is in: Hellcat > Odyssey

Let's see some interior pics. Is it as nice as the new Accord's? Do the back seats fold into the floors?

my q7 was an almost fully loaded prestige model so it was actually a good car which handled well for the size (this is coming from an e70 X5m right before it). The biggest problem was the power train. The car was dog slow, and the turbo lag was terrible. Made the car very frustrating to drive in many scenarios. But doing road trips and going 600 miles without filling up the tank was nice. I haven’t driven the diesel cayenne, but friends have gotten them as loaners and liked them a lot. I couldn’t imagine Porsche building a car that feels as lethargic as the q7 diesel.
