Seablue - there's no need for special order or Audi Individual to have Audi build one without a pano roof. Delete panoramic roof has always been available for the Q5. For 2014, it's a no-cost option code PFH. Because it will be tougher for resale or to sell to any prospective buyer new without the pano roof, some dealers may require a non-refundable deposit on sold orders with PFH though. YMMV.[/QUOTE]
I realize that but the op said he ordered a q5 without the sunroof not just the pano

Oh I did not know that. I assumed that pano roof delete meant no retractable roof at all of any sort and you're left with just an all metal roof. I have not seen a US-spec Q5 with just a regular sized (non-pano) sunroof. Do they even exist for our market?

OK. You guys got me really confused, so I asked the dealer. Here is the answer
"The roof will be solid. On the outside (top) there will be no evidence of an opening. On the interior there will be no evidence of an opening and the headliner will be black."
Just the way I wanted.

When I bought mine in 2011 there were many without sunroofs on dealer lots available in south Florida. I thought I may have to get one there. I did find one in CT and I bought it. My engineering background helped me determine that a Q5 is a better vehicle without such a large hole in the roof. I would have considered a more normal size sunroof if such a thing was available. Lighter, stronger potentially drier is always a good thing. Having a cab and a motorcycle gives me all the open air motoring I need. I really don't think the re-sale value would be changed much higher or lower.

pano roof is a priced option for 2.0T
delete pano roof is a no cost option for 3.0T, TDI, Hybrid, SQ5. (all metal roof)
standard non-pano sunroof is not an option for any US-spec Q5.

Same here, order no pano....
on my 2014 Q5, same special order for no sunroof with my other two prior A4 Audis. I just don't get why owners like a sun roof with the sun beating down on them and the noise. I thought that's why they engineered in the HVAC.
