Personally I prefer the X5 because of its better looks but it's a nice win for the Q7. Acceleration time of the the Q7 is surprisingly close to its rivals.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autospies.com/news/Audi-Q7-vs-BMW-X5-vs-Porsche-Cayenne-S-The-Winner-is-13578/">Q7 4.2 FSi vs. BMW X5 4.8i vs. Cayenne S</a></li></ul>

and then finishes middle in the other tests.
I am certainly not impressed with that for a win, even at a first glance.

Dont get me wrong I love my Q7.
Just yesterday some crazy Americans over here for the St Patricks day Parade went berserk snapping shots of my car, whooping and jumping around as I drove by them on the street. (pity it needed a wash)
I just cant see that happening with either of the other two cars in the test.

PS Personally I prefer the Q7 because of its better looks - among many other things.

zOMG extreme road-hugging properties owing to Wankstabilisierung!!

Hehe....

Anyone else figure out why the sound levels are measured in "railways"????

The abbreviation for decibels is dB which gets translated as "railways" because DB stands for "Deutches Bundesbahn" (German Railway) in Germany I think.
