ordered mine a couple of weeks ago, should be here Sept 15, will post some pics when I get it.
Search for 2012 Q5 Hybrid videos on Youtube, several of them are showing the Q5 H with Glacier White, although the car also has a lot of Hybrid decals.
also if you search for Q3 Videos, you will get several test drive and promotional videos of the Q3 and most of them are Glacier White models. Not a Q5 but it will give you an idea

Cinnamon Brown
I actually went with the Glacier White because of the interiors. I was between ordering the Ice Silver and Ibis White, but since all of the cars I have owned before have had Black Interiors I wanted something different.
When I saw the combination of the Glacier White with the Cinnamon Interior on some photographs of the Q5 Hybrid I decided to go for that combination
When is yours expected? What Interiors did you go with?

I don't think you can call it pearl white, specially if its anything like the Pearl White i'v seen in an Escalade (which have tints of yellowish/grey)
From what I have seen at least on A4 the Glacier has tints of Blue/Grey

It has a hint of blue and is more "muddled" giving it a very slight grey tone, especially without direct sunlight. I've had some awesome metallics on previous cars but this one had very small specs which is different from the Lexus pearl white, among others. Wife and I weren't fans so we went with ibis and pocketed the savings. That said, I'm a fan of MOST Metallica paint so if it were my decision alone, I would've rolled the dice on glacier regardless because I think it would grow on me more. She was the boss in this and I agree ibis looks clean. Sorry, this probably doesn't help. :-/

I am sure there are other threads comparing the Glacier white with the Ibis white, but I was at the dealership recently, and took pictures of the differences in the colors. I compared the two shades of white with the Ice Silver and found that the Glacier White was between the Ice silver and Ibis White. Sorry for the large pictures. I am new to all this. Hope it helps.
