The OP (to which you replied) implied that somehow the bars affect the traction control system -- and you (sort of) reinforced that.

How? Or am I misinterpreting things?

And wouldn't it be nice if there were a real S version of the Q, with, say, 400HP? I wouldn't still be sitting on the fence. ;^) HPH

Without knowing the details of what you've got, it's not possible to be certain -- but it looks as if you could use the A4's winter wheels on a Q5 (you could use the tires, too, but they'd be way...

Years ago, on one of my A4s, there was an annoying wind noise -- not quite a whistle but not just swooshing -- that turned out to be the driver's side mirror. It seems that its design combined with...

This was the case a decade ago in Audis -- you could aim them with a needle. Glad to hear you can still do this (some cars aren't so friendly). I bet you can't adjust the spray pattern, though. HPH

With a wheelbase 8" shorter and 600 fewer pounds of steel to carry around, this is surely not unexpected. Audi would need to put out a Q3-like vehicle to compete. (I expect the A3 fills this role --...

One of my 1990s Audis -- maybe the second-gen 90 or the very first A4 -- had, like its predecessors, a center diff lock button. I expect that option would have sent the Q5 bounding forward on...

Thank you all...

One of the cars we'd trade is a Subaru Forester XT, so the small BMW is interesting; but I like the idea of a wagon better. And the Ovlov is something of a hot rod, but it has no clearance and, after...

(Hee hee) Ovlov. Hmm. Must be a new Russian Federation model?

Seriously, though, I think the R version has a 6MT. HPH

Re: and now you'll see one more ;)

An S2K and an allroad -- good combination. If Audi would only bring the new ones here, I'd go that route also (I've got the S, and I miss my allroad desperately).

Consider this: right now, Audi is...

Well, crud.

I guess we'll have to baby our Forester for a long time.

By the way, you guys probably take the great organization of this forum for granted -- I'm talking about its ability to spawn sub-threads...
