Picked up my Q on the rainiest day. Labor and delivery went on for a few hours but finally got to bring the little one home. Specs are 2011 2.0T premium plus, MMI, B&O, 19", all-weather mats, 13 miles at delivery. All I added aftermarket are the stainless exhaust tips and getting the front windows tinted to match next week.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this car. I should preface this by saying I went from driving a 98 Dodge Stratus (which I bought new) and my husband's 2003 GMC Sierra to this, so it is a bit of an adjustment. Right now it is all a bit fancy for me and it is almost too easy to drive but I am overwhelmed with happiness! Highway driving in sport is an absolute dream!

After a good wash and polish on day two when the sun came out, got to take her out for an appropriate maiden voyage. Went up to Red Rock Canyon and tried to take some shots that would represent the color well. UPS truck she is not! The color changes depending on the lighting, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, almost black, but in the best light it almost has a copper sheen that is absolutely stunning. I hope I did not post too many pictures, I remember trying to find Teak pictures before mine arrived.

Thank you again to everyone on this forum. I felt so prepared through this whole process and my dealer even commented on the checklist I made from the forum. Let me also say that Audi Henderson (NV) has been nothing but professional and they made my experience an absolute pleasure (despite me being a mildly psychotic buyer).

Merry Christmas!


This was my very first look at my Q and my favorite picture of the color

Congratulations. We have the identical Q5 on order with an ETA of January 24th. Your pics are stunning; we fell in love with Teak brown at first sight.

The G Man

kbilicki, congrats, its a nice color.

wclepse

Congrats love the color, at first I didn't like it in a few pics I saw but after seeing more (better like yours) pics I am being won over. What do you think of the interior color? The wife and I ike the two tone look but prefered the cinnamon since the seating surfaces are a little darker and the floors are black. With a newborn we are figuring we want to have surfaces that hide as much as possible.

Congrats! Really like the pics against the mountains. Have fun on those mountain roads!

Q7er

Beautiful car and pics! Congrats. If I'm on the market for the new Q, teak brown is the color of my first choice.

Oh, we stayed Red Rock hotel and casino last summer and we had a great time. Kids loved those twisty roads in the park but over 120F was big no no!

RedCSX

Stunning pictures.

okietawney

Nice pictures! Where did you buy the exhaust tips? I failed to notice the 2.0T did not have them like the 3.2. They are much needed and look great.
I cannot wait for the sun to come out here so I can see the teak shine.

Thanks! We saw the color on an A4 but not a Q before I ordered it. I knew in my heart I would love it though.

kbilicki

Thanks!!

I love the interior. I did not know about the two tone until long after I had ordered. I was wary but realized that I am glad the dash is not too light. I wanted a lighter interior because Southern Nevada is brutal in the summer heat-wise and to hide dirt. I actually thought the opposite of you. I figured a dark interior would show dirt too well, but I guess that depends on the dirt.
