Originally concerned the Q5 would be too small (and still am until I see one in person), I made the following comparison.

_________Length___Width___Height___Weight

X3_______179.9"___73.0"___65.9"____4067

is this with the Allroad in jacked up mode?

Can someone add this one?

Added FX, XC90, and RDX to original list.
RDX almost identical in size

this would put the 3.0L TDI at maybe 4200 at most. Wishful thinking?

Like aayellow, I think that the Q5 looks small in photos. Need to see it in person, but as far as the looks go, I'm sold.

...cargo capacity with seats up and down.

I wish you Defender was a diesel. I'd buy it today.

Our friends in England had one, but sold it. I looked into bringing it here - no deal - communist government regulations! ;-)

the weight of the Q5 2.0 TDI is 1.695kg, so the 3.2 should have 1.750-1.780kg<ul><li><a href="http://www.filedealer.com/freeupload/bd478f9bb47c3e4881b829840ea23add.pdf">http://www.filedealer.com/freeupload/bd478f9bb47c3e4881b829840ea23add.pdf</a</li></ul>

The Q5 looks to be nearly as long and actually wider than the old style X5, just shorter in height.

Not that I need a really tall Audi, but if i have to sell my Defender, I do not want to comprimise.
