Love the pics!!! Red is probably not my cup of tea, but that contrast in color is really nice. It makes me question my choice of the black/black alcantara seats as opposed to a contrasting option. But either way, I'm sure any option looks nice.

Thanks for the congrats everyone!

Here are a few more camera phone pics I took this weekend.
I deliberately chose angles that exaggerated the Panther Black Crystal Effect.

Keep in mind that this is not what it typically looks like, but what you catch a glimpse of as you change visual perspectives.
Most of the time when you look at the paint it appears to be black, but every now and then you get flashes of colour to remind you that the paint job is something special. :-P

The visible black line on the hood in this shot is an overhead powerline.

Gorgeous would be a better description. The colour (sic) has such depth.

Many MANY congrats on that BEAST! Looks sick!

Btw - I noticed a "supercharged" badge on front quarter panel (instead of the usual V6T). Did you do this yourself or did you manage that from the factory? I was totally thinking of doing the same when I pull the trigger on mine

Default Nice!

Very nice... The Q5 did get some great reviews. Do you know or remember the MPG on this baby?

thanks for posting and sharing! That's cool of you.

Thanks. :-)

I had the dealer add the badges prior to delivery... I think it looks a lot better than the V6T badges that it normally comes with.

Don't know, and don't really care.

I just did my first refill though and got about 450kms for that tank.
That should improve once things have been broken in... I'm guessing ~500kms per tank.
