Default SQ5 Order Placed!!

Placed my order for a 2014 SQ5 Prestige with 21 inch wheels, comfort package, rear side airbags, layered aluminum, and front license plate holder (Texas a must) I am coming over from the S5 thread. I was looking at cayennes, evoques and jeeps. I am so glad Audi put the "S" on the Q5. Will keep you guys updated

Black or Blue? What was the MSRP on this bad boy, or did you just tell 'em to order it....don't care what it costs? Good for you!

So you ordered without a released price guide? Did the dealer give any indication about prices?

No pricing yet. Will be doing X amount over invoice. I am not a blue fan so I DID NOT order the Blue. I am keeping the color to my self for now. It was a very hard decision but I am sure I will be happy with my choice. I did go with the black interior because I wanted the cooled seats.

Great.
I imagine that there will be a limited allocation of the SQ's for the first year.

Would you mind Sharing the X amount over invoice?

I am looking to Order a Q5 TDI.. and Would like to place my order ASAP..

Which is Better X over Invoice or % below MSRP. ED should be 5% off MSRP ( as long as the dates fall into line)

Same. Ordered SQ5. Glacier white, prestige, black nappa leather, layered aluminum + black wood, tow hitch

I'm freaking excited to get it!

Too bad you can't have the sport seats with ventilation.

I actually want estoril blue and might still change to that once I can convince the gf who just doesn't like the blue.

Wanted the tow hitch but I was told it would be visible from the rear. I thought some sort of removable plate covered it.

The SQ5 has a removable panel but just like on the S-line Q5, once the port installs the hitch, this panel can no longer be put back on because of how US-spec tow hitches protrude. In Europe, their hitches are more compact and I think stowable, so that they can re-attach the panel to cover it.

It won't look bad. My former Q5 S-line had the hitch and it's painted black and hardly noticeable. Should be the same case with the SQ5, though you lose the 2 "fins" from the "diffuser" styling because they're part of the removable panel.
