I read the MT Q7 long term test. $60K and it rattles like a 15 year old Hyundai . My impression of Audi vs GM would be "how much more for a major repair at say 60K-80K on the Audi than on the GM?" I know I can get a reasonable 60-72 month 90K-100K bumper - bumper real GM extended warranty, can you get that on the Audi? $30-$40K for a reasonably loaded GM is more my top.
 
Still trying to decide what to go with when I replace my Trooper, will probably keep the Envoy XL my wife drives for another couple of years...that covers the 6-7 passenger when needed and extra luggage room when traveling. I would love to have the 6-7 passenger hauler, but could probably replace the 5 passenger Trooper for quite a few $K less. I also need a minimum 3500 lb tow rating so that would probably leave out some possibilites that would work otherwise. As long as the Trooper keeps running I don't have much urgency to change...but I still get the new vehicle itch.

The BMW 3-series is one of those German cars worth the price. The Audi Q7 is not.

I was not aware that Hyundai made a crossover SUV 15 years ago. I have a 2007 Santa Fe and its the only vehicle I've owned that doesn't rattle, (Chevy's, Fords, Jeeps, Suzuki, Porsche). I guess I have another 14 years to enjoy before I have a rattle.

They didn't. If you read the article is does not state that the Hyundai in question was an SUV, CUV, sedan, or coupe. It only states the brand Hyundai in general.

Yeah, and the entire article was about an SUV. They compared a specific aspect of that SUV to a brand that had a bad rep in the past, that's all. Since I posted the article in an SUV forum is that supposed to mean it changes what the author wrote? What don't you get?

I thought the Q7 was nice inside. It was just too big on the outside for such a small size on the inside. I liked the R-class more, despite it's more vanish look (is there something wrong with saying van on this board?). Andit was too true SUV for me. I came to the conclusion the Enclave was a better buy because it offers comparable luxury and a better ride for thousands less.

Saw Ford Flex Today by kellz

I was leaving the gym and saw a pearl white one. The old guy driving it must have noticed me trying to get a closer look from the next lane because he pulled away like he didn't want to be bothered. He must not have realized he was being chased by something German (wow, I sound so dangerous). As I was passing I realized how large this car is. It was huge. The veiw from the back looks nice, but I disiked it from every other angle. It may still grow on me, but for now it looks like the big box it is.

The thing about the Flex is that there is no better way to package the most interior space than a box, so there it is. Suburban/Tahoe owners will appreciate it. Big brother to the Scion XB and BMW MiniCooper.

On the one hand, it's true that a boxy shape is the most efficient, but on the other hand, the Flex isn't very efficient is you look at it's exterior dimensions compared to it's interior dimensions. And Odyssey or Sienna has much more interior space for the same (or less) exterior dimensions. Don't kid yourself thinking that the Flex's box shape is for effeciency...it's strictly a styling gimmick.
