The Audi Q7 has always been a bit of a strange size. While just about every other automaker has had crossovers running in both mid- and full-size segments, Audi has been content with just the Q7 inbetweener. In terms of Audi the brand, the Q9 also represents a new pinnacle in the lineup. It brings a lot to the table, including a U.S.-exclusive SQ9 model, but its competition is nothing if not stiff. Full Disclosure: Audi flew me out to Munich, Germany, put me up in a nice hotel and fed me all so I could check out the new Q7 and Q9.
