Replying to: cx7lover (Jul 22, 2008 1:09 pm) The RDX is direct competition for the Q5, not to mention it is the TOP rated compact luxury suv! (Check comparisions by Edmunds and other car mags, the RDX has won them ALL) This is just an over-priced Tiguan, which is an over priced VW. Buy it for the interior, if you don't mind service department waiting rooms... Replies to this message: cx7lover (Jul 26, 2008 7:50 am)

Too bad the 2.0t direct injection engine and the S-tronic is not making it's way over here, I would have considered it. Oh well, maybe they will offer the S-tronic on the A4 wagon with the 2.0t DI. One can only hope.

Whoever said that the Q5 is an overpriced tiguan is an ignorant guy thinking he knows it all. The Q5 is based on the B8 A4 platform not the same platform that tiguan uses. The engine is longitudinally mounted vs. transversely in the tiguan. The RDX won ALL of the comparisons edmunds because its not rated on how fugly and poorly built it is. Acura's level of refinement = Honda, and an Acura forever and always will be a Honda.

Replying to: ajwhite72 (Jul 23, 2008 2:35 pm) HA! You want to talk about overpriced? Try the RDX, a fugly Honda with a cheap interior and laggy turbocharged engine. They can't even give away RDX's. The Q5 will knock the unrefined RDX out of the park.

Let me tell you, the pictures don't do this car justice. It has caught my I the three times I've seen it on the road. Nice looking vehicle!!!
#11 of 84 Platform? by kurtamaxxxguy Sep 02, 2008 (6:54 am)
Is the Q5 based on the same or similar platform as the VW Tiguan? VW and Audi have shared platforms for many of their vehicles, with nicer interiors, different handling characteristics, cachet and pricing separating Audi from VW. Replies to this message: reality2 (Nov 11, 2008 8:07 pm)
#12 of 84 what do i do? by mumble88 Sep 10, 2008 (10:36 am)
So i got a new Q5 and I just want to keep it clean as possible. I decided to purchase a car cover from carscover.com. 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?

Replying to: mumble88 (Sep 10, 2008 10:36 am) Are the Q5's on sale yet? The website and other mags said it wouldn't be out until early 2009
