Would love to see some pics of a Daytona Q5/SQ5 in the light too.

Default Sunrise Daytona SQ5

Wow Thanks guys for the replies, and great words ;-)

Some pictures from this morning. I was looking at my wife going to work with the new ride ! Pics from Nexus 5 so not so great.
















I really like the color. My favorite for Audis.
I think my wife would have preferred Lava Grey but not offered in CAN for MY15.

Funny how the first picture shoes how daytona is different with light or not.

Left doors are in the sun, but the front in the shade...

I had Pirellis P Zero Neo A/S on my GTI and they were so noisy after 2 summers, got rid of them for Michelin Pilot Super Sport (awesome).

We should have more options for 21" summer soon (Michelin get your s*** together).

For winter now, some rumors about 21" tires in the coming weeks, we'll see.
But in Montreal, winter can be/is nasty so I'll go for 20". 19" doesn't look good enough on SQ5, and I don't wan to sacrifice too much the niftyness of the car.

So far, undecided between Scorpion and Blizzak LM-60.
My sister have Scorpions on her A4 and they're pretty good.

Thing is, where to get the rims now...I'd like an OEM look (replikas, I don't care).

For replicas, Hartmann is pretty much the standard. The main thing to be cautious of is the offset, as the replicas don't always use the exact same offset as the OEM.

My dealer told me MY15 will come standard with Dunlop (as I was hoping for Pirelli) and I will see if I can get the 20" OEM wheel from the dealer as well.

Thanks for the pics. Daytona looks great.

I want to make a new personal goal -- no pics with mirrors up unless it's about mirrors being up. Whenever I take a pic of my SQ5 (and, vainly, this is a lot) and I've left the mirrors up I kick myself after! Friends don't let friends do mirrors up Q selfies.

Your SQ5 looks great! Did your 2015 Canadian model come with the flat bottomed steering wheel?

Thanks.
