Can you get a tow hitch on the SQ5? If you are getting a S not sure MPG is a priority unless they did not size the fuel tank correctly. My M3 gets awful fuel economy but it would not be an issue at all if they had put a larger gas tank in so the range was longer. Wonder what size tank the SQ5 has. Wish someone had pics of the blue, that is the one we are looking to get.

The tow hitch question is a good one. I know the hitch is (or at least wasn't) originally available for order on the SQ5, however, if you look closely at the picture posted above (re-linked below) you can clearly see the 'cutout' for the hitch in the middle of the bumper (same as the Q5 has on the S-Line bumpers). Does anyone know if there was a hold on the hitch for the SQ5 that is now released potentially?

Regarding the Estoril Blue, I too what like to see live pictures if anyone has seen one. They are all over the web if you google (as it was one of the colors taken to the auto shows), but the more the merrier.

I don't think the tank on the sq5 is any bigger. I thought it was just under 16 gallon.

The sq5 is going to drink some gas under aggressive driving. So it will be a substantial difference in that and a tdi. Of course its quite a bit faster off the line and what's not to like about 354 hp?

I do love the sound of the tdi, though, and it's aggressive in it's own way.
