Default No Audi Q7 Hybrid for US

Audi is reversing plans to sell the Q7 Hybrid in the US, primarily due to currency exchange impact on their business case.

NEW YORK — The weak dollar has claimed another victim: The Audi Q7 hybrid crossover won't be sold in the United States.
Johan de Nysschen, head of the Audi brand in the United States, said Audi could not make a business case for the electric/gasoline engine hybrid. The hybrid was scheduled for launch in early 2009, soon after the diesel Q7 goes on sale.
"If you look at the way the economics are going, it was a very hard car to make the numbers work," de Nysschen said in an interview at the New York auto show.
