Why would a diesel in this need an pricing uplift any greater than for the A4? Me no understand. Also, the Q7 is already available with a diesel engine.

Isn't the U.S spec Audi Q7 already available with a 3.0 litre diesel engine?

The Audi marketing dept is so late to the diesel party in the US that they have squandered all their goodwill from Le Mans. The Q5 and the Q7 should be brought in ASAP with the most advanced diesels Audi can come up with. They should also come in S trim. The regular S cars are too thirsty.
