I went back to Volvo to drive it one more time just to be sure. I actually started the car shopping process pretty much set on a Volvo and was a little sad it didn't wind up on top. Besides they were going to offer me a great deal but I just couldn't say no to the Q5.
The interior was a big part of our choice over the Volvo as well. That plus things like AWD were optional on the Volvo and the Q5 was way more fun to drive.

In the end the Audi felt like we were spending our money for something special and we never really felt that way about the Volvo.

I don't know about Quartz Gray for all of Latin America, but it is available in Mexico, as is the 3.0 diesel.

And we briefly considered the both the X3 and the Acura RDX, but dropped them from consideration early on.
