They had a lawsuit when the Q7 was launched. Apparently now they're only allowed to use Q on the Q7 I don't think they'll be using Q as that Nissan brand Infiniti? already licensed the Q.

That grille in particular is majestic, regal, masculine and sporty. It's like Royce Rolce and the next gen Mitsu Evo fused. The Q7 is an absolute gorgeous giant. Make its presense felt, in an awespiring way. A bit too big, I'm 5'6 :). It'll be great if the Q5 can be everything the Q7 is, in a smaller package.

It may be profitable but i don't agree with it. BMW's and the like were something you'd aspire to own because it was 'exclusive' and a sign of 'you've made it'. Now every tom dick and harry can own one (i've got nothing against them btw). Cars like the A-Class and 1-Series are rubbish imo. If you had a 5-Series in the driveway, your neighbours would be saying 'my, he must be doing well for himself'. But if you had a 1-Series they would be saying 'what an idiot, he could have gotten a fully loaded VW Golf GTi for that price'. Cos i hate it when people who own cars like the 1-series and a-class acting all snooty etc thinking they are in the same league as those who own 6-series and sl-class's just because it's wearing the same badge.

Q3? I know the Q7 is meant to compete with the likes of the Range Rovers and X5's. But where does this Q5 and Q3 slot in? oh and the New TT is abso-forking-lutely sexay!
