Don't bother drooling about it in the U.S. though.

Well, well - what a surprise - an SQ5. And, in pretty much the exact guise as everyone predicted. Bi-turbo diesel with gobs of torque and "Euro-only" fun (for now, anyway). We get it - and nice job by the way. Very nicely done (except, I'm not a fan of those wheels at all.)

So, Ok then, Audi - now that that's out of your system - can we just get the damn 3.0T that you promised us stateside!?!?!? Is that too much to ask?

I love every inch of it, especially the interior (shift ****, two-tone interior)... Can't wait for it to be in the US and definitely will trade in my Megan

I'll buy it if it ever comes to the US. Hate the wheels. Will hope for a titanium pkg. Love the seats and shifter though. Bummer not to see a flat-bottom wheel on there.

Mine will have to do for the next few years I suppose.

I want one. Bad. Maybe they will send us a uprated 3.0T...I still think we should have got the 310hp version (as in A6,7) instead of the 272hp version. It would compete much better in the segment imo.

I agree.... I don't know why Audi decided to deliberately put themselves below BMW and Volvo in this segment when the same engine in their other models are putting out well north of 300HP.

I just don't get them sometimes.

Love everything about it. Especially the engine. That much power/torque and still get 32 mpg. Perfection!

That's just too cool! I want it, but I have zero confidence we'll ever get it Stateside. I love Audi products, but sometimes I despise them for keeping the good stuff from us.
