This is probably a production or near-production ready Q5 undisguised. Some exterior trim might still be "crystallizing" but the overall design is pretty much what has been expected from the various spy pics. Still no word on whether a TDI will be available in the US.<ul><li><a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080207.010/2008-audi-q5-real-or-photoshop">http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080207.010/2008-audi-q5-real-or-photoshop</a</li></ul>

looks like the real thing or 1st cousin. Hard to believe you can drive down a road and not pick up any dirt on tyres. Shadows look a bit suss too.

The car itself is slightly disapointing, stumpy and bulbous. I hope the finished item is a bit more subtle. Perhaps if they ironed the pages flat it might help.

Thanks for the cross post on Q7 forum!

with the Tiguan right around the corner.

the entire interior looks p-shopped or camouflaged to hide important features I suspect the Geneva Auto show will unveil the whole package.

I am hoping the Q5 will be closer to the RX.<ul><li><a href="http://forums.audiworld.com/other/msgs/7983365.phtml">X post of dimensiions</a></li></ul>

If the Q5 will be in Geneva it's in stealth mode... :0)<ul><li><a href="http://www.salon-auto.ch/en/en_images/">http://www.salon-auto.ch/en/en_images/</a</li></ul>

Australian newspaper reports that the Q5 concept will be revealed at the Melbourne Motor show:

"And it's a bonus for buyers: the production preview of the coming Audi Q5 will now be held in Melbourne as the company rolls the Cross Coupe concept on to its stand. - Herald Sun, 8 February 2008"

I believe that's end of February. Probably will be pretty much same as autobild preview.
