I posted the details in the 2014 Order thread, but I thought I'd post it here since I thought it was cool to see

As noted earlier, it's delayed date is due to PQX SLinePlus pkg parts availability

Very cool. Exciting to see your car coming together.

Did you get this from your salesmen?

That will be here before you know it...I'm jealous.

Thanks, however I have a 1400+ mile road trip planned for 9/7 and would really like to have it for that :/ It will really be annoying if it comes while I'm gone...

Nah, from another source within Audi. The info seems the same as I looked at with my salesman, but perhaps the interface is different.

Hi. I'm a first time Audi buyer and new to the forums. I placed my Q5 TDI order last weekend and very excited about it. I don't have an ETA for delivery but my salesman thought that early September was likely. I got a Prestige in Scuba Blue with gray interior. I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas. :-)

Scuba is one of my choices as well. Are you getting the s-line plus pkg? I'm interested to see how it looks with the dark accents.

Thanks,

I didn't go for the S line package. As for scuba color, my thought process changed several times. In the past, I've had dark color cars. While they look great, the are difficult to keep clean especially during winter. My last two cars have been silver which is ridiculously low maintenance in winter and never looks bad. it is, however, quite boring. When I first saw it on website, I LOVED it. Then first time I saw in person on the lot, I was crushed because it didn't look at all like it did on the website - much darker and no pop to it. I went back a few days later and loved it. Go figure.

My colors of choice would be between....

For an S-Line TDI:
PHANTOM BLACK PEARL EFFECT (love brilliant black, but hate washing it in the sun...I doubt phantom would be better?)
SCUBA BLUE METALLIC
DAYTONA GRAY PEARL EFFECT
VOLCANO RED METALLIC

For an SQ5:
PANTHER BLACK CRYSTAL EFFECT
ESTORIL BLUE CRYSTAL EFFECT
PHANTOM BLACK PEARL EFFECT
VOLCANO RED METALLIC

Man...I just keep getting closer to talking myself into pulling the trigger.

Personally, I'd go Scuba, Daytona, or Estoril.



Scuba looking good here too:


This is a 2012 Daytona S-Line so it has the same dark-treatement that the 2014 will get (and same wheels) so this is very representative of this combo look:
