Default SQ5 pics, just off the truck

Took the wife's Tiguan in for service and saw this being unloaded from the truck, still wearing its covers. Lousy weather so no full body pics, just some details. Some lucky owner is in for a nice weekend.

Love the interior. Wheels look great, but those summer tires look pricy.

The 20's look kinda plain and boring. The bi color 20" wheel on the gas and tdi 3.0 looks much better.

So 21's are almost a must if I was going to get an sq5. I saw the price of those 21's, so they will be dear to replace. And if you live up in the NE, few if any options exist for all season tires.

I'm still not a fan of the 2 tone interiors, and I wish Audi would offer some lighter color interiors on their s models.

This must be one of the very first to arrive in the US.
Arch gap is huge - glad we get it lowered over here!

Please don't rub it in. Is there a price of trim missing from this wheel arch?

I'm sure it still has the shipping blocks installed--at least lets hope it does!

I'm really interested in seeing more SQ5 and how it compares to the Macan. Trying to convince my wife to look at both. Unfortunately, I'm just not feeling the new F15 X5

Indeed, the gap is quite huge... the 21" wheels make it look even more so.

I've actually seen a couple of dealers with videos of SQ5's on their lots on in the past couple of days:

and

Interestingly though, the gap doesn't look quite so huge in these vids.

Test drove the SQ5 today...

Very impressive, but cant justify the 8mpg hit. I am comparing it against the TDI.. the one I test drove would be 1k more than what I have ordered(no Tow hitch though).

Got some pics for you all!

Just an FYI.. Prestige Audi in miami has 2 SQ5's which are available for sale in Ibis white and a black(not sure which black).

You lucky *****!

How did it sound? Any different than the "normal" 3.0TFSI or the S4/S5 for that matter?

Thanks for the pics!
