That's better than 8800 pounds more expensive.

Going the Colin Chapman/Lotus direction of "Just add lightness".........

Default I won't even consider a Q5 until they bring down the weight....

...and get the mileage far higher than 18mpg. It's rediculous they're only offering the 3.2 V6 to the US with that miserable mpg.

Default We need to demand powerful, lighter, higher mpg cars, rather than have the Gov't require it....

....of course the Gov't will never require powerful! Safety is the real balancing act though.
