I thought this thread was for audi questions and answers? Is that discussion not about audi questions and answers? Why wouldnt a post like this belong in this thread?

Seems it would be a lot easier for the the consumer to keep it all in one thread.

It wasn't a question for which anyone here has an answer...it was kind of rhetorical. And it started a whole different discussion with comments from people that have no real interest in an Audi.

Alex, are there a lot of preorders for the 2011 Q5 2.0T? How long is the wait? Thanks.

Alex, as an addendum, what's the price difference in MSRP terms between the 2010 base model (3.2) and the 2.0T 2011? you had mentioned it would be cheaper, how much cheaper on average for both base and premium models?

I have two preordered unsold Q5 2.0t Premium+ incoming in July. A fresh factory order will take about 10 weeks from the time it gets ordered.

Is it just me, or does that make the Q5 mildly cheaper than the A4 2.0T with the same level of equipment?

Alex, have you tried the new 8 speed tiptronic yet? How does it compare with the 7 speed DSG?

[stoxxsp500]

thanks for the update alex. ff up question: have you tried the 2.0T for the Q5 yet? do you have an idea how much of a performance difference is affected by the heavier engine relative to the a4? (is there a european spec we can use to compare the A4 vs Q5 at 2.0T?)

All model content is as follows:
Note: All A4 tiptronic transmissions have been upgraded to 8 speeds.

A4 2.0 TFSI Sedan- $37,800

- Fixed rear seat back is introduced with reduced MSRP
- 16” wheel option has been discontinued by the factory
- The standard 17” wheel is now the same as the A4 2.0 TFSI quattro

A4 2.0 TFSI quattro Sedan - $39,700 and Avant - $42,800

- No changes to standard or optional content
- Due to low order rates, the 18” Sport Package is only available by special
factory order

A4 2.0 TFSI quattro Premium Sedan - $43,600 and Avant - $47,200

- These models have no changes in standard equipment however the number of available options is reduced to metallic paint and S line package
- These models are expected to be the volume cars with optimized RV and
payments

I was going to say that that's much cheaper than the 2010 premium with tech package (which seems to be roughly the same)... but... let me guess, the $45,800 is for manual transmission, while the $45,100 2010 premium is tip?

[afretes]

I haven't tried it yet, I'm hoping to get an A4 equipped with it as early as the end of this month.
Regardless of how good the new 8 speed tip is, I doubt that it will come even close to the DSG tranny.

Alex, have you tried the new 8 speed tiptronic yet? How does it compare with the 7 speed DSG?

None have arrived yet. This is what I found, gross weight:

A4 2.0t 2,115 kg.
Q5 2.0t 2,365 kg.
Q5 3.2 2,415 kg.
