Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Sep 02, 2008 6:54 am) Sorry, but the Q5 is NOT based on anything VW. It is based off the B8. The TT and the A3 are based somewhat of the Golf platform, but as everyone knows the TT has extensive changes to the platform including use of aluminum. So it is not the same. I thought this type of misinformation had died out in the 90s.
#16 of 81 Anxiously awaiting more info on Q5 by maximafan Nov 14, 2008 (1:45 pm)
Well, I'm still seeing a few Q5's on the road near where I live. They're obviously being driven by people from the Audi dealership as the car has no nomenclature identifying it other than the Audi rings. I must say it is one sweet-looking vehicle! Now, if I could just find a way to get whoever is driving one to pull over so I can have a better look!!

I got it couple days ago and it looks real okay. But now im worry that what if it damages my paint job? I wish i can just put it on and not care but im still worried and my cover is still in the garage. Should I put it on?" Ignore this guy. It's a ploy to promote the website. Better yet - tell people never to buy anything from anyone using this kind of deceptive advertising tactic. Basically he wants you to get curious how they get Q5 cover so early and check out his website. BTW: I'd tried out the RDX. It drives well but I can't really distinguish the interior from a Honda. Even the current-gen Nissans (not Infiniti) have nicer interior than RDX. Another Q5 competitor I haven't seen mentioned yet is the soon-to-release Mercedes GLK site here . I'd also tried X3 and it's too cramped. Also considering 2010 RX350 which should come out soon as well. Things will be interesting in this segment in 2009.
#18 of 81 Q5 Estimated Pricing? by drbischo Jan 14, 2009 (2:30 pm)
Has anyone heard any price ranges for the Audi Q5? If its based on the B8 A4 platform like stated above, then it has to be more than the Audi A4 Pricing for 2009 which is: $40,750 - $48,800. Right??

#21 of 81 Test Drive - at last!! by ArmonkMusic Feb 03, 2009 (11:53 am)
My dealer had a couple of (fully loaded) Q5's for staff training today only; I was able to get a decent (30min) test drive. What a gorgeous vehicle!! Looks far better than the pics (which are already great) and drives like a dream. It's actually pretty roomy inside (loads more than the Tiguan) - plenty of shoulder room and the trunk's pretty good too. I'm now working through brochure (also picked up today) and waiting for pricing. Apparently pricing was set but then Mercedes released pricing for the GLK which prompted an Audi rethink (downwards, I assume).
