Anyone have a cargo box?
I am interested in getting a thule cargo box and was wondering if anyone has one. If you do, please post pics. I would like to see how it looks before I get one.

I don't have a Thule, but I just brought the Audi Cargo Box home an hour ago. I'll take a few pictures later tonight. I'm pretty impressed with the design, and size & "fit" for the Q5. It's quite wide compared to many boxes I see. It looks like it will be real easy to install on roof rack (which I don't have on currently). Estimate about 2 minutes to attach box to rack(with NO TOOLS req'd!).

Q5 with Thule Atlantis 1800
Here's my Q5 with my Thule Atlantis 1800 installed. Someone asked for pics of this a while back but I haven't had it on for a while... I just happened to be heading out for a camping trip this weekend.

Bringing it home yesterday, it fit in the inside of the car with the rear seats folded down.
It's currently on my dining room table, so pictures would not be very useful. I'll post pic's when I put on car (which might be a while).

Thank you sir! Great info, and thanks for the link, looks like I may be buying one of these VERY soon. I seem to carry many loose objects often, like baseball bats, gloves, tennis rackets, etc, and I'd love to hide that stuff up in a carrier instead of strewn around in the back. My big worry though is mileage-wise, how much will my mileage suffer, having that thing up there all the time/most of the time. Can you let me know what kind of mileage you're seeing, once you mount it?
Thanks again! Great info! Pics would be super-cool!

AOA had promotion that ended on June 30 for 20% off, which is when I ordered and what I got. Not sure about Thule pricing.
I may put the rack and carrier on today, just to practice. Will post pictures IF I GET TO IT.

This is the only one shown on Audi Accessories FOR THE Q5, but it looks like the larger boxes may fit fine too - at least the Thule - nice pics!
