There are a few threads re: the MY2010 config (changes vs. 2009), decided to write it down here. Information for Canadian model:

MY 2010 Optional Equipment:
20” 5-spoke alloy 255/45 R20 Summer performance tires

MY 2010 exterior paint & interior upholstery:
Lava Grey replaces Dakar Beige
Stratos Blue replaces Deep Sea Blue
Amethyst Grey replaces Meteor Grey
Cinnamon Brown added

Other stuff:
- Servotronic now standard
- Still the 6-CD in-dash changer, adaptive headlights are only available in the technology package.

Have a good day.

I have an Ibis White S-line released for production June 9 and expected into Halifax on July 21. ETA at dealer is Aug 17. Hoping it will be a bit sooner than that!

Do you happen to know what colors are available for the 2010 US model?

flogsta

I guess it depends where you are located (Canada/US). But I can confirm the ETA of July 21 for Halifax :-) I got the same info.

flogsta

no. sorry.

I am in Toronto as well. I am hoping the ship comes in a week early and they expedite it through as a 'sold' order. Have you heard of any MY2010 financing deals? I signed for a '09 at 5 yrs 3.9% and I hoping to get similar if not better but not sure what AFC will do.

My dealer informed me yesterday that my date of manufacture has been moved up by 2 weeks to the week of June 28th, I'm hoping my Q5 is on the July 21 ship! Think its possible? Anyone know how often a shipment arrives in Halifax?

Disclaimer: I am by no means an expert on this; I have no information from any Audi source whatsoever; I am just guessing a bit, searching the internet (I guess I have too much time right now) and voila…(take it for what it is!) - I am just waiting for the Q5 and can not wait any longer *haha*

I assume that the company to ship the cars is Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics http://www.2wglobal.com/www/wep/

If you search on their webpage you can see for instance, that there are 4 other ships with departure Bremerhaven Germany 11/6 to 03/07 and arrival Halifax before July 21 (from that WWL company).

The ship arriving July 21 leaves Bremerhaven on July 9th. Hopefully your ‘week of June 28th ‘ car is on it :-) But your dealer should be able to tell you that!

Cheers

Thanks Flogsta, very interesting! I notice that ships arrive on a weekly basis, that's great news.
I've posted the departure/arrival dates below if anyone else is curious.
I wonder how long it takes to build a Q5, how many hours from sheetmetal untill it rolls off the assembly line?
