Edit: I see the reason for me wanting a new grill was answered above. It'll look much better without the front plate holder for sure!

Yup... this combo has been serving us well. It's a bit of a dog in "D", but "S" makes it come alive.

Looks like a minivan that passed wind tunnel aerodynamics 101.
JK, sharp looking SUV. Is that the Charlotte area?

It’s a station wagon, and a sharp looking one at that.
And before the howls and insults start getting thrown, no it’s not a Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser like station wagon, it’s the modern version and they are very versatile and god driving as well
Congrats on your new Audi

Congrats, my close friend had a 2013 Q7 with tdi he loved and was very reliable with one expensive fault. It went through tires every 20k miles and he is a mellow driver.
Congrats looks very nice! Audi has always pullded off that conservative, yet modern looks that stay good looking for years.

Yeah we bought it before we had our second child and it started to get a little cramped with two car seats and all the other stuff we cart around. Not being able to have anyone else with us started to become an annoyance.
I wanted a Q7 when we bought the Volvo, but it was "too big."
My boss has one. I've driven it a few times, not bad, but can't get used to the size of the thing. Anyway the latest thing that happened to him was that one of the mufflers fell off, not sure exactly what happened, either a clamp or connector broke. He always takes it to the dealer though and every time he always says it's usually around 1k or more for repairs. He likes Audi though, has an A8 L too.

Tsk tsk!
I traded in the XC60
It was my first and probably last Volvo.

Mazda5? It do does have sliding door and stick/manual!?!?!?!?!

Kidding!
I see a couple around me.
But what impress me are the 3.0T in sedan form.... they could roll when wanted....
OP/RooflessVW, I trust you will drive it the way it's supposed to be driven, cough cough....
Now I'm waiting for pictures of the "paint correction"; I want to see a pro at work...

But much sharper than any minivan I can think of! Very nice ride.
Try to put seven passengers and their luggage in the back of that mom's station wagon and call back

Not to offend anyone, but that's a beautiful Audi, so congrats
Enjoy many happy and safe miles.
I would also go for Audi vs Volvo
