It's no R8, but when her '17 Q7 got wet recently and went away for good she decided she wanted something a little smaller. My only requests for smaller was "faster" and my only requirement for white was no pearl. She went shopping without me today and came back with this. Pretty sharp looking and not too little. The Audi dealer 100 miles away in Houston kicks ass on service. They are super fast and efficient and always pick up and deliver while dropping off new Audi loaners for her to use. The 18 models new body style looks close to the Q7. Ride report later. smile

Hopefully your wife is better at negotiating than mine. I swear, I think my wife's favorite phrase is, "That sounds like a good deal, I think we should get it!"

Nice. They hit a home run with Q5.

I guess this could count as a testimonial. Picked up a black '12 Q5 s-line 4 years ago. Good performance (that little 3.2L normally aspirated makes great power), great in the snow and mountains, stylish, and perfect size. Wife drives it mostly and when it's time wants another. Except in white this time!

Mrs. newmann has very good taste in SUV's. Amazing how competent these vehicles are.

Wife and I just got back from 10 days in Germany (another awesome Oktoberfest!) and Switzerland. My rental was supposed to be a fast/fun Merc sedan this trip but one wasn't available so they gave me a brand new Volvo XC90 with 9 miles on it. Loaded out, top of the line unit. I flogged that TDI up to 138 mph and it still got lower 30's MPG. Impressive.

Imagine what that S-line Q5 could do on the A6 in light traffic!

Nice wheels. I like Ze German Automobil.

If I could have any choice of SUV it would be this beauty of a beast.

After years of driving trucks and vans, when the kids moved out my wife wanted to get this, so we did. Gran Touring model with the 6 cylinder and a 6 speed manual transmission. The clutch sucks if you get in traffic, other than that pretty fun car.
