Hmm, I wasn't previously in the market for an SUV, but this offering from Audi has me wondering about the possibilities of where an SUV might take me.

I really don't blame Audi for this. They have to follow suit in the SUV market or face the possibility of becoming another Oldsmobile. It just makes me mad that there’s a market for them... kudos for making it a Diesel engine though.

It sort of looks like the FX45's.(Which I was thinking of getting one at one point in my life.)

The FX45 is actually pretty cool looking IMO. It's not big and clunky like most SUVs... it's more like a big car w/ ground clearance.

...'course I'd never buy one. Why spend all that money when you could have a turbo Outback?
