Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Prius, and Highlander to name a few only cost a few grand more and save more than $1000 a year in fuel. They easily pay for themselves in five years.

That would push Q7 to atleast 1000Lb difference with X5d
Now lets see what's more fun to drive and gets better milage

I thought the new Q7 was aluminum and going to be significantly lighter than the X5?
I drive a $80,000 GL450 with plastic seats that gets 16mpg and there is nothing vaguely interesting about the driving experience. I would rather get 28mpg and save money for extra tires for the track car. I just don't understand soaking six figures into a SUV.
