I know it's probably in a different price range than the Q7 will be in, but the penchant for AWD and performance of the two brands, combined with the similar size, will mean that some folks might cross shop.
The B9 is better in interior quality than other Subarus I've driven, but not nearly on the A4/A6 levels, which is where I expect the Q7 to be or surpass.
Otherwise, it's a nice solid car, but feels more like a minivan than an SUV or sport wagon. I guess I expected more performance out of Subaru, and the interior is INCREDIBLY quirky. Upside. It's got a DVD system in the ceiling in the back for the kids.
Summary: Surprise. I'd wait for the Q7, or if shopping now would also seriously consider the XC90 or Touareg.
