SilverEscape, thanks for the update on the Pathfinder. I had not looked at the current redesign.
Deano77, without any more information, that Audi sounds like a quite capable TV. It has about 20 HP more and 11 ft/lbs. less torque but a 3.70 final drive ratio so it looks really good. It has a cross-over SUV styling so it will have a shorter than optimal wheel base, which affects towing and maneuvering but anything in this class will. Trucks are great for this, but not always the practical answer for the rest of our driving times.
Of course, if money were no object, I might run out and get one myself. However, the price of diesel right now, balanced with the mileage you'd get with it (without doing actual math) seems to favor gasoline engines for the foreseeable future.
