David Fritzinger$37.3K on the Audi USA website. Or pop for power with the SQ5 for a mere $51.9K .. that's actually tad above what the forthcoming Porsche Macan is going to start at, which shares the same pan (although not much else, apparently) while also making an interesting observation on Audi price points. The cheapest that Audi offers is the A3 at $30K starting. The A3 shares the Jetta/Golf platform, so it is probably closer in size to Lloyd's Buick rather than considering the A4 ($33.8K) - - even though it is all a moot point, since all are quite clearly above what Lloyd paid.

What a poor choice, Lloyd. you could have been driving around in a beautiful BMW Cuv or even an Audi Q 5 for the same price, instead you opted for NA junk, that looks like it fell off an ugly tree and hit every single branch on its way down, with an abysmal reliability record to boot.
Are you serious, Nashton? Do you really think you can buy a *new* BMW, any BMW or any Audi for the price Lloyd paid? Let's see: BMW 1 Series: Stripped at $31,200 BMW 2 Series: Stripped at $32,100 BMW 3 Series: Stripped for $32,550 (Note, this is for the 320i, whick is available with a lower power 4 than the above 2 cars. With the same engine, it starts at about $37,000). BMW X1 (their cheapest SUV): $30,800, again stripped. What did you pay, Lloyd? Didn't you say it was in the low to mid 20s?
How about a Q5? Stripped Q5: $35,900.
BTW, you do realize that while you complain about Mac users paying so much for their computer, you just paid $thousands more for a VW, which starts at $44,570, while your Q7, built on the same platform, starts at %47,700 with the Premium package (Lowest priced model). Premium plus: $53,700. Prestige: $60,900. [All USA prices]While there's certainly to be some differences in equipment of YMMV significance, what we've been previously told by Nicolas is a "Marquee Heritage" line, even though Audi has been a subsidiary of VW for roughly a half century (1966 to present).
