I think I’m gonna like it up here. I’ll do a write up eventually, but for now ask me anything you want about this thing.

I test drove one of those for a friend and I was impressed with how well it drove.

I’ve been so tempted to get out of my Taco payment by selling it, and buying one of these outright.

Does it have better or worse fuel economy than the A8?

Well, it has a larger engine, weighs 1500 pounds or so more, has the aerodynamic properties of an apartment complex, and has one fewer gears.

“substantially worse” is the answer to your question.

Does it make you drive like an ass. Im serious, because this is sort of the feeling I get when I get to drive my mothers Expedition or my fathers Tacoma.

It’s a feeling that comes from the height and being able to cross potholes with ease that makes me drive them quicker and without the care than I would driving my Golf.

How does it compare to a newer (2011) suburban ?

Nope. It doesn’t go, stop, or turn as easily as the Audi, so I’m less aggressive.

I’ll let you know once I drive a new suburban.

That not good but not as bad as my old 2001 expedition with the 5.4

Is the auto-height control functioning?

Yes

Woo, fancy schmancy.

Oh. For some reason I thought your family had a newer LTZ suburban.

Must be someone else we’ve never had anything even remotely close to that.

An FJ80 or similar would probably be my choice if I didn’t have to park in city garages, also if I could get the Toyota diesel it would help on mileage.

It is extremely comfortable .

I will say that in urban traffic, when I’m going too slow to tip over, it does give you an extra (probably unhealthy) dose of confidence. 

Vicente Esteve > sm70- why not Duesenberg? 04/30/2017 at 15:38

Yup, that will only increase.

Except I’m gonna guess your sunroof isn’t leaking mysteriously and that your ABS module hasn’t crapped itself.

That’s true for now

and is it black or navy blue? your picture makes it look blue but the dealer’s looked black

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > dtg11 - is probably on an adventure with Clifford 05/01/2017 at 10:57

It’s black.

Tan or grey interior?

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > dtg11 - is probably on an adventure with Clifford 05/01/2017 at 12:37

Tan. I hate grey.

This is good opinion. Grey is so bland and boring. Tan is light and airy, and goes very well with black.
