SciFrog:

And torque... I am totally unimpressed by the 4.2 V8 in my Q7...

A powerful Turbo Diesel would make much more sense from both points of view (torque and consumption).

We had a V12 Turbo Diesel with 500 horses in the Q7 for a while but they are only available as used models anymore. The V8 Turbo Diesel has 340 hp, which would probably put any V6 Turbo to shame regarding torque and consumption. I hate V6 Turbos...they suck, especially in big and heavy cars.
