Yea I ended up with a Q7 for the family hauler. Wife refused to drive a mini-van. So long she is happy works for me. Seats 7 and thats enough space for us. Already started to mod it. Ordered up 22x10 rims and working on the interior. Trying to find a good entertainment system for the OEM headrests. Panaoramic roof kills the tradional roof mounted ones for me.

So far Im happy with it but I have hardly touched it.

Sorry to hear that you sold the GS. Nice pickup on the Q7. I generally don't like SUVs (in fact, I'd say I'm anti-SUV) but if I had to choose one, the Q7 is up there on the list of desirable SUVs.

Thanks for all the help over the past while. I'm sure you'll be back with a 4GS sooner rather than later.

As far as I know oem entertainment is not avaiable for the Audi. The headrest are very small right almost like a Benz

^ The front headrests are fine, by design the 2nd row headrest is what is going to be hard. They have a release that allows then to fold forward so you have better visibility so this is where I will run into trouble. Audi sells a set for the 2nd row passenger but I dont care for them. I think Benz, BMW, and a few others have a similar style set up and the price is insane.

I really like how it drives for a SUV being Im not a fan of them. Wife thinks its just "ok"...Funny she said not to start putting parts on it. I told her it will look better when Im done

So long it lasts us for 3 years or more we should be all good.

I saw a pair of ipads set up that looked like that. I'm with you; i don't care for them either. By the way, you only have to wait until the kids are out of car/booster seats to easily slide them into a GS.....

Q7 is a nice choice Mike. Sorry to see the GS go but hopefully you pick another Lexus up!
