Just kidding!

Traded the Volvo today on this, a '15 Q7 Prestige 3.0T S-Line:







Feels good to be back in a VW/Audi, like coming home.

Next order of business is a full paint correction and detail done MY way, new front grill piece with no plate holder, and maybe an APR tune.
 
Very nice!

Paint correction? What's wrong with it?

Good looking vehicle nonetheless. I've always liked these.

Well, it has been on the road for 2.5 years without me caring for it, so swirls abound, even if white hides them well.

Did you consider the Honda or Toyota?

Thanks!

I bought it from our local Toyota store. There was a Highlander in the showroom; $38k... cloth interior.

That's basically the joke... But in this I have a supercharged V6, Quattro, nice brown leather, and sparkly DRLs.

Hard to find that in an actual minivan.

Don't care if it seems like a minivan, could be one, looks like one, etc. It is one good looking vehicle.

Exactly; I'm so glad my wife only wanted one kid- and hated minivans.

Yes, it's crazy talk! I'm sure it'll give great service, and if something breaks, this is BITOG! In the rare event something breaks, we aren't afraid to turn a wrench.

Not to mention the 3.0T and ZF 8 speed are well proven.

Why did you ditch the Volvo? Not big enough

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."

Beautiful car and great color combination! Why do you need a new grill?
I rented a brand new 2017 Q5 last year for an extended weekend, my wife and I absolutely loved it. Silky smooth mechanically, comfortable, and a beauty to look at.

Congrats!

The black plastic piece that goes horizontally across the center of the grill has an indent for a front plate. Apparently he can get one without the indent. Strictly for looks and don't blame him, why not?

Great SUV!
