They offered to order the car, If I wanted, but decided to wait until the 2010 show up. Probablly will find a better deal if the car is in stock...

Thanks for the help....

Be a man - test drive the car!

Same used to be said about the B6 S4..

and I was able to take it to 160Mph... total blast to drive it like that, it literally felt like driving at 75, well planted on the ground and very responsive. I must say that getting to 140 was the easy part, from 140 past 155, it took a while for some reason... that experience kept me smiling for about a week and tough me to really respect the glorious 4.2L V8.

I agree - just go thru this experience once - you will never forget...

Great car - my hope is they offer the detuned supercharger that is in the A6 for this car next year.

All the reviews are very positive for this car.

I've always managed to negotiate a better price for cars in demand when I factory order. Managed to lock in the order for my current 2005 XC90 V8 below invoice, and they were selling for list when I picked it up...my 2010 Q5 order was the same- better price for the order than the one on the lot- though it hasn't showed up yet.

I would caution you against test driving the Q5. Unless you want to buy it. 2 weeks ago I went in to test drive one, the first of several planned drives of different models. 2 hours later I was the proud owner of a Q5. Never even drove any other models. After driving the Q5 I realized I didn't need to.

You will love it.
