For Audi you get 2 hotel choices now instead of 3. The rest is still valid.

For BMW I believe the Lufthansa 2:1 last existed in 2010. The current deal seems to be "Fly Lufthansa from the U.S. to Munich and as part of the European Delivery program, you can enjoy exclusive, preferred pricing. A new, comprehensive program offers discounts in all three cabins; Economy, Business and First ranging from 5%-15%* offering more flexibility."

For Volvo I believe the free flights are still valid for their ED program. They must be desperate

If a TDI model is available I will wait for it and order first possible date for ED, but if no TDI will be coming for 2014 I will order a 2013 model for early summer.

Because the 3.0TDI would give me the fuel efficiency and power, which would be the perfect combination. I would love the Hybrid - but it has 2 things going against it. 1) Long term reliablity/replacement costs of batteries 2) NO SLine available...

I am trying to avoid going to the dealership's until February, so I can hold off on the want to buy right then and there, but I will go and test drive all the second place competitors for sure. the Way I would configure the current Q5 would be 52-55kish MSRP.

Competitors that I am going to atleast test drive: Audi AllRoad(I have not seen it in person yet), Mercedez GLK, BMW X3/X1(NO ED Available), Volvo XC60 R Design, Acura RDX, Lexus RX450H/RX350, Range Rover Evoque, Cadillac SRX and Lincoln MKX.
