I don't think there is any SQ5s with black optics in the US yet. I'm still waiting for mine 😃
Dealer says my vehicle should be here end of October.
Black optics SQ5 became available to order at the end of July.
Im waiting for my black optics SQ5 too- supposed to be here same time - leaving by the 16th for the east coast and expedited through port. My dealer said it should be the first custom built black optics sq5 in the US- apparently AOA built a few preconfigured black optics SQ5s that are just now on the ground (said he saw them going to CA) but wouldnt let dealers modify the orders. AOA frustrates again!
I have an SQ5 Prestige, Daytona with Black Optics, on order... should be here in February. Wait is killing me but will let me start acquiring mods for it.

That's a long wait. I had a mid Sept build slot that could have had Black Optics, but AoA told me it wouldn't remove the chrome door handles. If it does, I'm going to be slightly perturbed.

It may not have been built then- I originally put my order in with my dealer back in May and have hounded them about it until AOA began accepting HGB in July. They move a lot of vehicles and my interpretation is the Week 40 build date for HGB i ended up with is the soonest that was possible - AOA moved it up from 42 due to my dealers complaining. AOA wouldnt let them takeover any build slots earlier than that for HGB - including the handful of prebuilts were hearing about.

I had a week 39 build, there didn't seem to be any issues with ordering it with the PPS option. I guess it could have caused it to be bumped but I wouldn't have cared if I knew it removed the chrome door handles. But AoA was pretty adamant that there was no way to remove the chrome door handles short of doing an exclusive order when I talked to them in August.
Picked up my 2015 Q5 TDI last week, very happy with it but also a bit sad to see the 2011 3.2 go. 72,000 km (45k miles) and not one issue. Decent city mileage and great highway mileage (would average about 23 mpg (US) on my annual trip to Florida), so no complaints at all. Also, even after 4 years of some harsh roads and winters in Canada, it had no rattles or creaks, hopefully the 2015 TDI is assembled as tightly as the 2011. It is Utopia Blue and Chestnut Brown and all options except Advanced Cruise.
