I'm not familiar with that -- is it a 'cross-over'? We're thinking about getting a semi-wagon at some point, so I'd be interested in hearing how you like this, and the pros and cons.

Yes, smaller than the Q7 with the 2.0T or 3.2 V6 engines. Not much to say on the cons yet. You should take one for a test drive, it's quite impressive.

Love that Spyder. It's a 3-season car, correct? E.g., not really a weather-proof top.

I would consider it a 3 season car but it's absolutely incorrect that the top is not weather-proof. The seal is excellent although I would not take it thru a car wash.

For Ken it's a one season car. He'll have something else in a few months.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll add it back to the list of dream daily drivers that I'll never be able to afford.
