Oh, and here's the Q5 PIB too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z6ay8c7qre...014_Q5_PIB.pdf

I'm not sure about the current selection, but Lava was available on A3s and Q7s at the least; it's an extremely dark grey (think cooled lava ). http://www.audiforum.ca/q5-q7-58/201...e-heavy-54339/

Daytona's been around, too, though not seeming common on vehicles around here at least. Don't know if it's a current color for US models at the moment (it has been before, though). https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2812715


Ooh, nice find. Lists EPA estimates for the TDI: 24/31/27. So I was 1mpg too high on my guesstimate, but still not too bad. Shows pictures of the wheels that will be available, too.

I like that Daytona Gray Pearl, maybe better than the Monsoon Gray Metallic. Either over the Chestnut seats would be attractive.

I've heard that Daytona has somewhat greenish undertones to it, though that picture didn't really show much (but pictures of "effect" paint can be hard). Of course Monsoon is more of a straight grey, and a little lighter, I think.

I'm sticking with my Scuba. (But I hope to see Volcano Q5s around, it seems like a nice color, just not for me.)

Oh, I wonder if those are the "high MMI controls" that are now listed in the model guide???



unlike what we have now:

Yeah, I like the Daytona better from those pics/memory as well. The B7 RS4 came in Daytona, which was quite nice )

vs Monsoon: (in different lighting)

You have it backwards. "High MMI" refers to the level of MMI, not the relative location of controls; the MMI with nav is higher-level than the basic one.

Where you saw that?

Thanks for this, although it contributes to my madness. So many discrepancies between this and the order guide. Wonder which one to believe?

For example, the standard 3.0t wheels are supposedly 19" 5-double spoke star design per the order guide, but only a 21" version is shown in the PIB. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Anybody know where I can find the PIB for 2013? This has far more detail than I've seen on mine previously, and I'd like to compare the two.
