2014 Audi Q7: A roomy, elegant crossover

The 2014 Audi Q7 is a luxury SUV packed with extensive safety features, like a lane-departure warning system and a blind spot warning system, and huge cabin space. It doesn't provide much off-road ability, but it should satisfy most — if not all — consumers looking for a luxury ride.

With seating for up to seven and the roomiest, most versatile layout of any Audi, the 2014 Q7 is the pick of the German automaker's lineup for large families. Provided you don't need to much off-road ability, it's a nice, road-focused utility vehicle for the family, with a luxurious interior, lots of useful interior technologies, and impressive performance--including reasonably good towing capability.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
