Yeah, they can't print those window stickers without the MPG numbers on them.

The EPA mileage estimates are already posted. If you go to Audi's website, and then go to myaudi, there is a news channel near the bottom. Click on that and go to Media Kits. Click on view more, and go down to SUV"s. Click on read more under the 2016 Q5. Then click on Media Kits. The first one is marked 2015, but if you choose it, it is actually the 2016 Q5 Media Kit. I also noticed on Cars.com, there are two dealers with 2016 Q5's listed. One even has pricing.

Sorry, I should have clarified... cars show up on the dealer's site when they are built and get a VIN, meaning they're still in Europe. My 7 showed up on the dealer site 3/20 but I didn't have it until 5/22.

I just meant watch dealer's sites and cars.com for real pictures to start appearing. The dealer's close to the ports will post the available cars, meaning everyone else should start seeing cars at their dealers within the next couple days.

My 2016 Q5 arrived on the dock yesterday and was 'released to carrier' this morning. Just waiting for a call from the dealer as to when it will be on the lot.

Keep us posted on your vehicle's progress. Last word from my dealer was 2016 Q5's would be released to transport mid-July.
A6/S6's, A7/S7's and A3/S3/Q3's are showing up in dealer inventory....
Crickets are all I'm getting from Audi on 2016 Q5/SQ5's

Where do you live? My SQ5 was on a ship in Houston on the 29th. I live in Louisiana and have not heard when my car is being shipped to the dealer.

According to my local sales person, they are holding the Q5's until Audi does an official release; however, they didn't know the date.

From this link:
2016 Model Year Audis roll-out dates leaked - North America
Week 3 of July is what the dealership is saying "released for transport" mid-July, anxious to hear of someone taking delivery before July 8th.
