I was waiting for that remark.
They put in a picture of the Q7 for a review of the A6. The review also starts with a comparison of the Audi with the Porsche Cayenne, so it wasn't clear at first what they were talking about. Why compare an A6 wagon with the Porsche Cayenne?

Damn. Beat me to it. The A6 Avant review was a Warren Brown tour de force!
In the first paragraph, he mentions his assistant (tough job) Ria Maglapus and his wife Marianne. In the second paragraph he mentions his Texas-born wife's love of trucks.
And this episode introduces two new characters, Ria's boys "Bori" and "Q". They're younger and able to understand the Audi MMI.
And no Warren Brown piece would be complete without a reference to the pretensions of wealth; and he weaves a thread of "affluence required" throughout the article. Shame on you for wanting a nice car! Race relations were oddly omitted.
And of course, to cap it all off, this A6 Avant review was printed in and around a lovely stock photo of an Audi Q7. The astute among you will note the tension created by the accidental image of the "Q7" and the introduction of the new character "Q." I cannot wait until next week!!
Brilliant!

Don't get me started on Warren Brown,
The only reason I read his column is to laugh at it. One of these days I'm going to do the Post's online chat with him just to give him a hard time. Oh, and IIRC, the picture was wrong two weeks ago as well (reviewed Accord sedan and pic was the coupe.) What a dumb a$$.
