Looks like we bought our Q's from the same dealer. Prestige Imports in Lakewood, CO. I bought my S5 from Gerhard Rexroth and my SQ5 from Derrick Holley. I have a home in Colorado Springs. I hate Phil long so that is why I went up to Denver. Where was this picture taken? Spring is when we get out big snows!!!

Didn't realize it was 60/40. Any details/writeups on that? My Q5 hasn't seen snow yet and today's 65F in NJ makes me think I won't this week in NJ/CT.
Here's CT in my S4:

I don't have any snow pics (yet) this year, but I am considering getting some snow wheels. I care less about aesthetics than performance. Do people have thoughts on size? It looks like we can do anywhere from 17"-20" wheels?

"As you might expect, the SQ5 is equipped with Audi’s 40:60 split Torsen style quattro system, though it does not get the right-left torque vectoring rear Sport Differential that is optional in all other S and RS-cars from S4 on up."

It definitely feels like RWD bias in corners and you can get it to oversteer a bit if you're really aggressive. The front wheels keep it balanced though.
