Yeah, I saw a commercial for it on tv. It was an ad about a car missing, it has blah blah blah features and if you have seen it log onto http://www.whateversiteitwas.com. They listed some interesting features, one was something like it contains SD card slots? I checked out the site after I saw the commercial, looks like a nice car. I saw one out on the road the other day. I do like the front ends of the new Audis, some people hate them.

I like the look, but a) it seems underpowered with a turbo'd I4 putting out 200hp at the crank (3329 lb curb weight), and I don't think Audi's sweet quattro AWD is an option

I don't know, I think that it sports AWD standard. However, I don't like the new Audi styling, I liked the older-gen A3's that they sold in Europe a LOT better. The only Audi I'd really ever consider is a 2003-2004 RS-6, but I say "ever consider" like I have $85,000 laying around. Plus, I've heard that Audi's and VW's have lots of reliability issues.

Took me a sec, but I think I figured it out... Hey Audi - Subaru called - they want their god awful grille design back. It's not a bad looking car from all the other angles, but I find that snout to be terribly offensive...

Sorry Colonel. I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. The Audi front end may not appeal to everyone, but I can't see it as anywhere near as disgusting as the Tribeca. Didn't the auto industry learn anything from the Aztek?

If so, might be a nice vehicle to own. It looks a HELLUVA lot nicer, but it's still just a rebadged Trailblazer:http://www.saabusa.com/saabjsp/97x/index.jspAnd not worth $35k imho
