Any confirmed mileage figures on the Q5 Hybrid? Not that it matters at this point. I bought my 2.0T last September and still love it. I'd love it more if it ran on solar power... but short of that I love it!

The wheels are beyond awful. They really do look like Pep Boys plastic wheel covers. Of course, everybody seems to need to send the "I'm superior because I drive a hybrid" message to the neighbors, and the cheesy wheels help relay that message without the need for tacky "HYBRID" graphics.

You also have to look at the curb weight differences. The Hybrid weighs 400 lbs more than the 2.0T, and the 3.0T is over 300 more than the 2.0T (100 less than the hybrid).

It's not for everyone, especially if you are a spirited driver, but for those that want luxury (only available in Prestige trim), better fuel mpg, and the status of driving a hybrid, I say go for it.

If given the choice today I'd pick the 3.0T first, the 2.0T second, wait for the TDI third, and if I had to, buy they hybrid. If I was forced to, the first thing to go would be those wheels though. Just not a good looking wheel.

Not impressive at all! And I bet it will cost more too. I'll pass.

I bet those wheels would look awesome...as long as they're spinning really really fast.

TDI is the way to go on SUVs! If our GL350 didn't have mechanical issues, I would have kept it. I loved the low end torque and the gas mileage!

Probably the ugliest set of wheels Audi has designed in the last 15 years, I can't even evaluate the rest of the vehicle they are so bad.
