Seriously, how many LEDs do you need? The refreshed Audi Q7

Shanghai 2009: 2010 Audi Q7 gets minor rhinoplasty in China

So far, the Shanghai Motor Show has played host to the wild and mild. On the latter, Audi unveiled the 2010 Q7 to the assembled throngs in China, complete with a new nose, restyled rear and a few choice bits under the hood and inside the cabin.

The crown jewels on the Q7's refreshed fascia are a new set of LEDs that run from the top, around the side and then through the bottom of the headlamp housing. A reworked lower grille and fog-lamp mounts accompany a new hatch and more LEDs nestled within the taillights, while inside, there's more wood, some tweaked trim and a third-generation MMI infotainment system that (Audi-willing) will remain as intuitive as the current system. As for powertrains, the V6 and V8s currently available in the U.S. will carry over, but a new 3.0-liter TDI is coming, rated at 25 mpg and carrying a range of 600 miles when traveling on the express way. Check out our previous post for all the details.

The LEDs look cool and then all attention is switched to the 335 that just blew past the S5 with the pretty LEDs

It's about time Audi has a distinctive lighting feature.

Audi goes through generations of cars like no one else.

I like the LEDs in the headlights, the wrap around thing looks nice.

For me,LEDs are cool,and i am pretty sure that thing will look awesome in dark...but that is a whole point,that car is so ugly and should be in dark all the time...Led lights are just distraction from uglyness!

audi has gone LED overboard. i like the LEDs on 997 turbos, but i don't care for audi's overzealoutry with those LEDs. in fact, the R8 is the only audi i even like period.

Resale on Audi's is awful as a general rule.

My S5 is great actually... (2008) 9000 miles the dealer was going to give me 45 trade without trying. Cars on AutoTrader with similar miles are in the 50s.
