I'm trying to find a pattern to see if any particular interior/exterior color choices or options might be getting delayed, and how your dates compare with the rest of us.
I've ordered 5 different cars through Audi, including some very specific audi exclusive orders such as my current R8. I know you are very excited to get your car and part of that investigation process you are embarking upon helps whittle away the time. In the case of the Q5 line, however, i can assure you there are no assembly line delays related to any color or equipment choice. (though there is one for current S4 orders because of a recent supplier delay). Our car is scuba blue with the chestnut interior, 2.0T, Nav, and 19" wheels.

It is very possible you will find that your car will probably show up a week earlier than expected. As of today, in fact, our car is due at port Oct 15th with dealer delivery a week later. But I think we'll have it sooner than that since it is scheduled for ship load in the next few days and transatlantic total ship time is 14 days, usually.

PS- Dealers as a rule are terrible with updates and can be very vague.

Heh, my dealer just told me that there's apparently 'a shortage of 18" wheels' causing production delays as an explanation of why my car is later than others. Not sure what to think about that, honestly. Anyhow, my new ETA is early December (build week 43).

Just checked back with the dealer, they still have not received an allocation from Audi for the 3.0T. Order placed on 08/18. Looks like our neighbors to the North are ahead of us, congrats! Anyone in the U.S. have a production date for the 3.0 yet? The dealer said he expects their allocation in "a few weeks" meaning he really doesn't know.

I am in Ontario, Canada. I ordered a 3.0T on Aug 25. Still no production date. Looks like 2.0T are being produced now.

Placed my order yesterday for 3.0T. Dealer said year-end was his best guess.

He did say the 2.0s are on the way.

I guarantee that you won't see it until December, but I hope I'm wrong. My new production date is week 43, which is Oct 22. The order went in Aug 3.
