Some people think it could be an official pic but look at the fog light surrounds. They dont match in positions. Can anyone spot any other mistakes?

The fog light on our left is flat and the point where it meets the center intake should be straight down, not kinked in, due to our perspective.

Regardless, nice PS. If it turns out looking anything like this it should mean good news.

I really wish that were real. I absolutely love the Q7, it's just too damn big.

Yeah it does look good. I just think it should have a more "Audi-like" approach to the side of the car. Something says to me if you covered the front there would be nothing stopping it from being a Nissan.

Also, Audi REALLY need to be more inventive with the fronts of their cars. We have yet again the standard 2 rectangle headlights, huge grille and 2 side intakes. As I said, they need to be more creative with their front end designs. The LEDs are a good step forward. Now they need to finish the job.

The Q7 look like a boat. IMO the X5 looks just perfect. It's what the X5 should always have been. The shape and proportions are just perfect. The bodywork is great and the interior is top-notch.

Saying that, there is something about Audi's that STILL appeals to me. I dont know that it is. I complain about how the front ends are always the same (see above post) but they still appeal to me When I see the Q7 in S-line form it looks great, just a little too big.

Definitely! It looks great from the front, with the aggressive hood sculpting and the scowling eyes (the brighter, clearer coronas help a lot too). The character line really defines the sides too. Everything about it is perfect.

BMW character lines are perfect period. I think Audi is getting there with their crease in the lower door/side panels. Merc character lines are sort of lazy, some good ones sneak through the net though
