Sounds like an S-Class. They lose an entire E-class in depreciation after 3 years. ($55k)

You first one may be true, but not what I'm going for. you're getting very slightly warmer with your second one. I'll put it another way - Each car in each group shares a trait with the other cars in that group. When you figure out what the trait is for one group, you'll figure out the how the other groups relate to each other as well. I'm having a hard time giving hints without giving it away.

Nope. Keep in mind, these are three separate lists with each list sharing a common trait.

eek... I wonder if that was wrecked. Carfax won't have a report of it if it was a rental.

Any AWDs? I think they were all FWD. Doing a quick search on Cars.com, I'm seeing a few in the same price range. I did notice that all the 2.0T are noted as "Turbo/e-assist", though. I thought it was the other way around...? Edit: Looking around at Buick's website, with the e-assist as an option, Cars.com must just lump the option with that trim level because those are definitely the 2.0T and not e-assist. 2014 Buick Regal $19,461 Cars.com 2014 Buick Regal $19,588 Cars.com 2014 Buick Regal $19,990 Cars.com Yeah, I'm wondering if that's what Reg was seeing. The eAssist Regals are exceedingly rare. You almost have to factory order one if you want one.

Any AWDs?

Can you post some examples? I'm not seeing them around me. 2014 was supposed to be the first year of no 2.4 base, only 2.4 eassist and 2.0t

I wonder if this is the predecessor to the Phaeton coming back to the US. The Genesis must make Wolfsburg seethe with jealously and bitterness.

They're quiet. No more hustle then a standard 2.4 liter once you get rolling, but you can feel a little more kick in the 0-25mph range. The electric boost gives them that low end torque feel of a turbo or grunty V6... but it goes away as the rpms increase. forget about trunk space.

Do you guys think it looks wagony? I'm seeing a lot of that on the interwebs, but not sure that I agree.

Not even the technology Balth? The thing will drive itself up to speeds of 37mph. Fuel economy numbers look to be very good as well, but at the moment they are based on the Euro cycle which is a bit optimistic compared to the US numbers.

Yeah, but even when you option it up, the door panels and dash plastics don't change. The weight of the tin-can feeling doors doesn't change.

It doesn't look bad by any means... It is just a slightly chunkier Audi wagon with some of the new bits from the TT and Q3. The problem is that Audi has been tweaking the same design for 10 years now. Each new model becomes slightly edgier, adds more LEDs, and starts to look more and more like vanilla. I think the A7 was the last interesting looking Audi to debut. As someone who has always favored Audi, I'm starting to find less and less to like in the looks department. Yeah, I can see that. For me, the Q7 finally gained enough flair to be interesting to me.

Are you answering a Jeopardy clue?

It looks so in that pic, but the interior is only a marginal upgrade over the US spec model in materials and design. At best I'd call it "Almost a CC". I wouldn't consider it very premium.

Really? I didn't care for the current one much, but I do like this one.

Early this morning, pictures of the upcoming Audi Q7 leaked out ahead of its scheduled reveal. A few hours later, the official release came from Audi. The big new for the Q7 is a 716 lb reduction in weight. Starting at 4,398 lbs, Audi's biggest crossover takes the title of lightest in its class. The Q7 achieves this with a multi-material body composed of both aluminum and ultra high strength steel components. Overall, the exterior size is smaller in both length and width, cabin space is larger. Powertrains for the US will include a 2.0 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder producing 252 hp / 272 lb-ft, a 3.0 liter turbocharged gasoline V6 producing 333 hp and 324 lb-ft, and a 3.0 liter V6 turbo-diesel producing 272 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque. Later, a second detuned version of the 3.0 TDI will be released with a turn towards high mpg efficiency. All engines will be mated to a brand new 8-speed automatic sending power through a revised Quattro all-wheel drive system. Inside, the Q7 gains a host of new technologies, including optional 10.1" Android tablets built into the car as rear seat monitors. These tablets connect to the MMI navigation system and available on-board LTE Wifi. The tablets have a full HD camera, 32gb of storage, bluetooth and NFC. The entertainment system features a new smartphone interface. If either an iOS or Android device is connected to the car via USB, the respective system is opened in in the Audi Smartphone interface. (minimum device OS versions are required) The voice control system now uses natural speech control so drivers are no longer limited to specific commands. If a customer orders the Tour package, an optional addition to the adaptive cruise control is traffic jam assistant. In this mode, the Q7 will take care of all of the driving at speeds below 37mph and while in heavy congestion. Q7 sales have been increasing steadily over the last few years with sales up 21% verse this period last year after a 41% increase in 2013, but Audi still has a way to go before catching up to segment leader Mercedes.
