Audi Q7 now comes complete with a psychologist and a years supply of Viagra to help you rationalize why you spent all that extra money.

The Audi Q7 looks great, and I'm sure it's a performer and a very luxurious vehicle... but to get close to the performance on the Acura, you'd have to go for the V8. Even with the V8, Edmunds couldn't get near the 7+ second time Audi said it should get. They got 8.3 seconds which is only fractionally quicker than the MDX if at all. Then there's the difference of the gas mileage and price. A fully loaded MDX is $48-49k whereas a similarly equipped Q7 is atleast $7-8k more expensive.
 
I haven't driven either one so I can only look at the data, but the MDX seems to be a very luxurious bargain in comparison if you like the look. The Q7 is a pretty slick looking vehicle.
 
The Veracruz looks to be in a similar league in Korean form from an interior standpoint, but I'm sure it can't quite hang with these two in the performance department. I'm sure the NA version will be watered down as far as interior appointments though. I think people in NA are still not sure about paying up to $40k for a Hyundai.
 
Sorry about the sarcasm. I was feeling sassy.
