You should check out the Q5 thread. Then you might see this:

Re: Geneva Debut: Audi Q5.

I 'm placing my bet on RS6 or TT Quattro Sport.

Q5 will be shown in Frankfurt.

Yes, we have seen Audi testing Q5 chassis under A4 Avant mules.

But still no genuine Q5 prototypes with Q5 body.

And it is impossible carmaker launching a new model without any real-world prototype testings.

And who said that real prototypes haven't been tested? Just cause you and i didn't saw them?

A5 is ready for launch and we only saw camo'ed A5s a couple of months ago. Most of them were not accidentally seen but Audi showed them on purpose to increase the hype about the car.

Perhaps spy photographers do not care taking pics of Audi cars.

Or perhaps all Audi testing are done over night.

Or perhaps prototypes are wrapped in invisible coat.

I'm sure real-world prototype testings (= done on public roads & eg. The Ring) can't be avoided.

I'm not buying your "Audi show them on purpose". That would mean testings on The Ring were just of cosmetic nature - just for showing off. I do not buy that. Audi uses The Ring & eg. Arjeplog (Sweden) area for serious testings like every other serious carmaker do. They are not just taking prototypes there to expose them to spy photographers, and do all the other testings in factory garage. That's not how it works.

Q5 is definitely still not production ready. We will see genuine prototypes soon. Face it.

Ok if you say so...

Letting an A5 spin around in the streets of Paris is not exactly my definition of testing.

When Audi needs advertising for the upcoming launch of Q5 you will see pleanty of them believe me but that will happen AFTER the A5 is launched.

Hehe, wishful thinking

I myself am hoping on RS6, but I think Audi would prepare us a little more for that.

The fuss is all about the A5, so I don't think they would release a bran new model the same time as the A5.
I place my bet on A3 Cabrio, Q5 or TT-S.
