Made a mistake, after test drive Q5 let my wife drive new A6....
Now " I need to think about this Q5" don't sound "good" to me.

Very nice! But after years or enjoying the benefits of a hatch, I could never go back to a conventional sedan. So I would have to step up to the A7. Heck, let's do some serious dreaming and make it the S7. B E A Utiful and functional.

Coming back to earth, I really wish the 3.0T in the Q5 was of the more powerful variety. I still don't understand why Audi elected to de-tune the engine for Q5 duty.

ha ha ha! She may find reasons for them to keep it longer!
It has the Sport package 20's, which do not look like Honda wheels in person.

3.0 Q5 is going to be nice, though it is a shame they de-tuned it.

I too wondered why Audi did this..... until I heard about the upcoming 3.0TFSI SQ5 for North America.

With that in mind it makes total sense.

My guess would be so they can pump up the specs on the 3.0T they'll most likely put into the US version of the SQ5.

I can see why they would want a little separation between the two models, but the SQ5 is going to more than a power upgrade. By de-tuning the engine, they not only deprive us of the extra punch, but they also lose the bragging rights to the X3, XC60, GLK, etc. I fail to see what the move gets them.
