Any one here also own a Q5?

Just curious what the Q5 is like...

[R8_V8_driver]

I love my R8 but am not an Audi loyalist. I test drove it and found it to be and nicely handling crossover. It shouldn't be called Q because it makes the Q7 seem like a boat. For 2x the money I'll take an X6.

I think there was a thread here about someone getting one (or maybe it was a q7)

I had a Q7 first before the R8, and both my wife and I are now big fan of Audi, but I am also a fan of Porsche... ; D X6 looks big, and it only sit 4. Maybe a 2+2 R8 to come from Audi. Just like the Panamera? ; D Love the look of A7, if that is going inot production. I know, I am going off the R8 topics here....

It was an A8 .. nice car, awful movie (only watched it because I was stuck on a 'plane to Tokyo)

I briefly considered the q5, but like R8_V8_driver I'm not really an "audi man". I did go for the x6 as the sensible car and love it, but then again I only ever need to seat 4 max.

can't see that ever happening, even in concept form, given audi have the fast saloon thing well covered already. porsche didn't have anything in that segment.

the high end performance "4 door coupe" coming from Audi is going to be the A7/S7 "sportback"....probably not going to come to the states I believe I read, at least not soon

and read this piece about the A5 Sportback which IS going to come here they say

I had a 2 door a5 which was a nice enough car, but the x6 is much more up my street.

clearly, from what's being put out there so far, it's the "7" series Audi that is being shaped up to compete w. the 6 series BM'er; 5 series (Audi) is pitched at the mid market---wherever that is in this economy
