Thanx
I used to work for the Navy and they thought nothing about making NEW acronyms all of the time. It used to drive me nuts. I'd find myself at meetings just nodding my head hoping to get a definition at a break.

Mr Frissen, what year is your Audi?
How is it you have matching armrests with your seats???
My dealer said this was not possible, perhaps it is not for 2012 in USA.
Beautiful Audi

The armrests for the cinnamon interior in most other countries are matching to the seat color. Why Audi USA chose to make them black is beyond me. I think it looks less "finished" when they don't match.

I personaly like the door inserts black instead of cinnamon. My center arm rest is still cinnamon.

I really like the all-black headliner, the required headliner with cinnamon leather. It gives an added richness to the interior in my view.

I like so many things about the car--but they've all been noted by others in this thread.

My 2012 Q5 bought in the USA has matching seat and armrest in cinnamon.

Are you referring to the center console armrest, or the door armrests? Otto Man was referring to the armrests in the doors, which match the cinnamon leather in other countries, but are black in the USA.


For me, without the matching door armrests, and only the leather pieces in cinnamon, it appears, to me, that they intended the interior to be black, and when they got to the leather, realized, oh crap we don't have any black leather, so let's just do it in cinnamon and pretend it was meant to be this way. This is purely my view though, and I know there are many more out there that love the way the cinnamon was done. In a perfect world, we'd get all the options the German's do, that would be Audi heaven!

I also really love how sure footed it is in the snow. The ride height in the winter is nice - I found the A4 was a bit too low and caught a lot of snow.

UrbanExtant

I totally agree with you. The Q5 is the perfect height in my opinion. It's extremely easy to get in and out of, and has just enough clearance that most things aren't a problem.

There are so many things I love about the Q5 that I don't think I could name just a few of them. Audi did a great job on this vehicle.

I wonder if I can order cinnamon armrests through my Audi parts dept. Boy I bet they are expensive.
