The Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne are related to the 2008 Audi Q7, but neither offers a third-row seat--nor are they as sleek and refined as the Audi ute.
The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class SUV has crisp lines, a great interior, and plenty of room inside.
BMW's X5 is a little less handsome than the Audi Q7, but it sports equivalent performance and features.
