An excercise in tasteless excess. In white. What a horrible and pointless car.

They've surpassed themselves in tastelessness though, the new Q7 is even more vulgar than the last http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-R...first-pictures/

Also - I used to hate the Q7...until I drove onein Central London for a few days a couple of weeks ago.

Bloody brilliant it was - big and agressive and all blacked out. It said "get out of my way asshole"

I loved it (wouldn't buy one mind.... )

The only bad thing audi have done recently are those ridiculous christmas tree headlamps. I find them, as a brand, pretty unoffensive to be honest, but i suppose i would say that. I'd say without doubt they're the most discreet of the german manufacturers. BMW, merc and porsche i could find more issues with.

IKWYM about the lights...

Funny really; I started out being quite covetous of them when I saw them around. Then I had a TTS for a while. And TBH I felt like a bit of a cock driving around with my cutesy twinkly oh-so-tediously-automotive-jewellery-cool daytime driving lights on. So I turned 'em off. And sold the car because it was stylish, efficient and boring. And as such didn't sit well with me at all really.
