Default New Audi SQ5 owner

Good afternoon everyone. We are expecting a new baby in 2 weeks, so I needed to sell my Porsche Cayman S. I own a Mercedes GL and my wife owns a Mercedes convertible. We drove many SUV's for her and both fell in love with the Audi SQ5. I have to say that I am very impressed and actually like driving the Audi more than my Benz. I test drove the Porsche Macan Turbo and felt that the SQ5 performed better for our needs. I am looking forward to the new Q7 redesign next year and might consider getting out of my GL.

I'm confused, is the new baby the SQ5? J/k. Many congrats on both. Steve

I guess you could say that.
Delivery of my SQ5 baby, Sunday at 1.

Delivery of my baby son (my first), August 26th. Already bought the silver/black car seat to go with. Lol

Thunderdent...sorry to interrupt this thread. I can tell your going to be very involved with the forum and pass along great info as you build you SQ5.
BUT...that picture in your sig is awful. It's too big, it's pixilated/distorted and just dominates the threads. I'm not being a jerk...it's just really that bad. Can you find a smaller, clear picture?
I'm sure when your SQ arrives, you put a nice, new picture of it.
Sorry for the interruption...and absolutely NO disrespect intended.

Oh no problem...

I'm only on my iPhone, so it doesn't look like that to me.
Sorry!

Yeah, I'll replace tomorrow after getting the new ride!

Sorry...I wasn't trying to be rude.
More importantly is that your SQ is due in tomorrow?!? I was fit to be tied the day before I was getting mine. Can't wait to see the pics...sounds like it's going to be a great combo.

I mis-wrote that. I pick it up Sunday.

It's arriving today, and I have to work tomorrow. I think they are getting things ready on it anyway, but that extra day of waiting is going to kill me.

Also, I tried to delete the pic in my sig, and it brings up an error that says:

The following errors occurred with your submission:
You may not delete your signature picture while it is in use in your signature.

That just makes no sense.
It did that the other day and it only let me swap the pic.

My local dealer had a Sepang SQ5. GORGEOUS!!!! Lucky you! The colors for Q5s are so boring.

Misano Red in black optic would be awesome too.

Or offer some Matte options. The Matte Sepang option on the R8 is phenomenal.

Loving... LOVING the Sepang Blue.
