wake me up when 2.0TFSI Q5 comes to US
like the car, but don't want V6 in it. Not worth extra $$ for me. Would rather get a fullly loaded 2.0 engne. Hope they do it soon.

by now what?I am serious. This (V6)is an oldie but goodie engine, but I want the 4 cyl TFSI. Newer technology, more efficient and close in performance. Is any other Audi car still using this V6 engine that they put in Q5 for US/Canada only?

Sorry. I really can spell. LOL. Bye now.

2L turbo doesn't mean you get better mileage...
I had lighter VW Tiguan 2T 4motion and now I get same mileage with Q5.
Same lesson I learnt with 18 wheelers, sure smaller engine haves better mileage on slower speeds but on highways you have to floor the pedal to keep it moving while with larger engine you don't need to kick it so hard.
I had my fears moving from inline 4 2L T to naturally aspirated 3.2L V6 but now after 6k miles I'm amazed by a Q5, a bit hevier car with larger engine getting same mileage as smaller VW Tiguan.
My mileage values are not computer illusion, I keep log book with miles and gallons used so it is real mileage....

Finland with their gas price? Q5 with gas engine? NEVER even 2L Turbo and NEVER EVER 3.2L V6 and you don't see V8 as it suicide type action...
(sure some haves American car with V8 as hobby car, but it is only to cruise around mid summer few times and not daily drive)
Though yes you are right with your point, if I couldn't have diesel, only option would be 2L Turbo and if not available then I would buy another brand that haves diesel or in worst case 2L Turbo available.
In Europe all my cars were diesels, I truly miss the diesel torque and would buy diesel VW/Audi over gas engine any time.
With diesel I always had Webasto or Ebersbächer heater and winter mornings it was so nice to have heater on 30 mins and have warm car to go. No window scraping but I had to use 2000 euros to get that freaking burner with remote control and timer...
