Your comment is well, strange, specially if we compare its natural competitor Cayenne Turbo S...
Euro 132.774,00 with Mwst. Germany
0-100km/h:4.8s
Max: 280km/h
2355kg
358g/km CO2 emission
BTW, Audi Q7 V12 TDI CO2 emission is 298g/km...
With same equipment level CTS is about Euro 12K more expensive...

I would be interested in how the Q7V12 feels (throttle response, vibrations of the engine, sound, power delivery over the rev range). However, if I had to choose between CTS and Q7V12 I would probably go for the CTS. Having said that, I am not a SUV customer at all. So everything is just theory in my case

Fully agree regarding SUVs in general!
I am as you are very interesting to try Q7 V12 TDI just to see how it drives...
For me of course RS6 Sedan!

Most likely not. Audi are already in the process of building their image in the US, Diesel is very unpopular and the car is slower than the 66% cheaper and more agile Cayenne Turbo. Marketing the car in the US wouldn't be worth the very handful of cars they would manage to sell in there.

Depends on the price Audi will set for the US. If I am not mistaken, the CTTS is just as expensive in Europe.
Anyway, Kreso, what's the gas mileage on this car?

Exactly. The car is 130k in Europe and it's going to be such as much in the US but in dollars. Further more the depreciating value of the dollar means that Audi wouldn't any money on the car since they would be selling so few of them in the US. It's just not worth it. Barely any of the three big German manufacturers markets or sell their diesel cars in the US.

I forgot I had a deposit down for one
Have they released final images of what the production model will look like Kreso? With soaring diesel prices, it will be far less attractive then what the V10 Touareg TDi was when it was first launched.
