You know what, this new Q5 might not have impressed right away, but like most Audis the more look at it the more beautiful it becomes. This is a really good looking little suv, even if it is an Simon Cowell says it is very "safe" in its design.

I could live with that. For once I;m not fussed on an Audi interior. It is extremely boring. Not liking this class at all. Hope the new X3 is the goods...

Alright, here comes my thoughts of the car:

- i really like the rear! It's perfection!
- i do NOT like the front lights. I don't know what Audi is thinking with all those different placings of the LED lights. The R8 and A5/S5 went in the same direction, makin' it a Audi-thing to have LEDs in the bottom of the light. Then came the A4 with the rollercoaster-LED in the middle, then the A3 Cab in the middle/upper corner, and now this!? Make up your mind Audi! These lights, I don't like!
- the front could be a little more shaped.

Overall, it's a very nice car, but nothing I would drool about.

^I have no problem with diff positioning of the LEDs it's to differentiate the models at night just like BMW diff angel eyes look across the models.

Even in white, which is the colour of the moment, the Q5 looks unexceptional. I concede that it's got a good dose of mainstream appeal but so what...

This is without a doubt the best looking SUV on the road right now. The side and rear reviews are the most impressive, especially the rear which is a work of art. The front is less successful in my eyes but still better than any other, and the interior is pure Audi - in other words quality of the highest order.

The Nav hump is incredibly awkward! The skewed angles would put me off focus.

I really really want to like/love this car but it does nothing for me. Maybe it will take some time.

Re: Official Audi Q5 Thread - 05-02-2008, 06:05 PM

I am curious, why does the (logical choice IMO) 2.0 Turbo Diesel not come with the Auto option or will it be added later?
