Right, they fixed the ride, but now you've got problems with the fucking understeer, cause the fucking thing got fwd.

Now if you want a 4WD with virtually no undesteer, get a 300 HP Maxima and fit it with a front and rear torsion bar and Eibach springs or coil overs and ...

Here's another quote from the same article I found most enjoyable :

"For us however the world has moved on a little beyond the point occupied by the Q7. Lacking both the style and off-road class of even a Discovery let alone the Rangie and the sheer all-round ability of the GL, the Q7 is not a poor car but one that was once reasonably good but has now grown old. It’s too heavy, stodgy to drive and dynamically limited to earn a recommendation from us here, qualified or otherwise."
