Lloyd E ParsonsWhich makes some sense: the Volkswagon Group PL71 platform which the Q7 is built on came out back in 2005 and has only had one minor facelift in 2009/10, which for the VW Tourag was considered significant enough to give it a different designation (7P5).
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."
However, the PL71 platform continues on despite this fork; IIRC, it is expected to be scheduled for update/replacement with the next generation in 2015/16, probably no early than as a 2016 Model Year.
