The soon to come Audi Q7 with a 500(!) HP Diesel monster engine is a very good example of mentality over here. Not to forget about other cars with (very powerful) Diesel engines like the BMW X3 sd I drove a while ago. This little thing ran like hell (auto tranny, no lag at all from standstill, impressive) with a 286(?) HP twin-turbo charged Diesel engine. Now I really have to go to bed...tough day tomorrow.
