Another way to say it's all about comparable equipment is to say if these two vehicles have the same options, then they're the same, which I think everyone would agree is not the case. Despite both...

Yeah, don't get the Canada/US thing. I configured a Macan S with every option I wanted and a few more that I could have done without except they came with a package for $67K. This included...

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Audi cannot win on price alone, and I too am expecting great things in 2016. I just cannot wait 3 years.

No one expected the Macan and SQ5 to cost the same. But if you are careful, you can get a nicely optioned Macan for the price of many SQ5s. I can easily do without the lane departure and adaptive...

Well put. For me, if I'm going to spend $65,000 plus for a car, then it's got to put a big smile on my face now and for some time to come. I get attached to my cars and keep them longer than many...

I thought I read they were suppose to be online the summer of 2015, and of course, it's not the best idea to buy a new model the first year. I'm looking forward to Q5's being assembled in Mexico. ...

If you've got to ask how much, then you probably cannot afford the Macan

I'm surprised to read so many posts here about price comparisons between the SQ5 and the Macan. If value was a priority, or even if I had to borrow the money to buy one of these, I'd be looking at a...

SQ5 suspension much too stiff?

So Motortrend really loved the SQ5 in their SUV OF THE YEAR roundup, but most reviewers agreed the ride was so stiff that they could not recommend it. What do you SQ5 owners say?

You most likely are going further on Shell, but without quantifying your mileage, it doesn't make the case for spending more for Shell. The BP close to my house matches QT's price around town, and...

Yeah, Audi like most premium brands age well because they change slowly over time to keep the brand instantly recognizable. And I think you are spot on about BMW and MB. But that's not necessarily...

Fortunately, Kia's are still too swoopy. They're also copying MB sedans, or is that Hyundai. Of course imitation is the greatest form of flattery, but I doubt anyone who is serious about German...

Q5 design getting long in the tooth?

After 4 years with no major design changes, I would think that Audi's best selling vehicle is overdue for an update. Thought I read somewhere where it's still 2 years off. Anyone know more about...

Too many chinks in the armour?

Carbon build-up, rediculously high brake dust, and now 1-2 and 1-2-3 shifting problems. All of this would definetly kill the joy of owning an SQ5 for me. What's surprising is Audi had to know about...

Well, maybe for the gals. But as for an SUV having both "substance and style", I'm thinking GI Joe in GQ. That works for me.
