I've never seen it so packed. The corner with the Italian exotics was a mad house. They should have spread them out a bit better. For those in the industry, I hope it translates to actual sales.

I saw the new Q5 and liked it, but I liked the new XC60 even more (flame away you Volvo haters!). A better choice than either would be the new A6 avant with the 3.0 TFSI. That's a great combination for a wagon lover like myself. I was disappointed that Audi did not have one on display.

OK, now I'm off to the couch to leaf through my collection of (slightly skimpy) brochures.

It is awesome! I can see people opting for it instead of the 4.2!

Default If volvo picks up where Audi's been slouching, that'll be my parents' new car.
See: 4wd medium- to small-sized SUV with diesel.

Default The only DSG we're getting in the A4/A6 series is with the upcoming S4
Everything else is either tiptronic or manual if it's available.
