Looks like Chinese debut for the Q5

Beijing to be exact. I heard AoA is taking a very small group of media over - we are not included unfortunately.

Also spoke to some of my inside sources for the latest on the car. No big details, but it is being described as a "spot on" design - very appealing proportions and design.

Won't be long, I am assuming Audi will drop some info on it ahead of the show as they have been doing lately.

..because the US is on Audi's back burner due to our currency situation, and for the fact that China is Audi's most important growth market. Audi has already stated that Q5 manufacturing will take place in China as well, so it would make sense.

IIRC the Cross Cabriolet quattro is a concept study for Q3, not Q5. __________________ 1st Ring: 2002 Dolphin Grey B6 A4 1.8TqMS 2nd Ring: 2006 Moro Blue B7 A4 2.0TqMS 3rd Ring: 2010 Phantom Black B8 A5 2.0TqM S Line 4th Ring: TBD
