I haven't seen 2011 3.2 either so to point you're right they may have changed it all across. I guess we'll know soon enough.

I really like the piano black grill. I am not sure why Audi changed it.

Oh well, nothing major.

Another thing to note is that the muffler tip and the grill colour might be different on the Sline (it might be same as 2010)

There was one S model on the lot, with chrom side mirrors and chrom on the grill. I assumed that is Sline, is it not? Still came with grey grill. It's not really grey, its more like faded balck and it doesn't look bad at all. Just different then it used to be.

Chrome grills yes but chrome mirror that's new.

Q-E

Would be nice to have those chrome side mirrors! Warcity and myself are thinking of having our side mirrors and the door handles painted in silver...other than our other projects such as changing the paddleshifters into chrome and the trimmings...don't like my brushed metal trimmings. Anybody out there would like to swap?

I just completed a 650 km trip.

Here are the conditions:

1) Temperature between 18-22 Degrees
2) 80% wet road/rain
3) 2 passengers
4) Roof box (approx 100 pounds of cargo)
5) 70% HWY / 30% city
6) 20% stop and go traffic
7) 20% AC usage.

All measures are approximates. The car used 45 L of gas at an average of 8.9 L/100Km.

VERY impressive IMO.

This is impressive but want to get it straight.
45 Liters/650 km is aboutr 6.94 L/100 km, right?
For us in the US, you travelled 650 km or 404 miles.
You used 45 Liters or 11.89 gallons US.
That tells me you got 404/11.89 or about 34 miles per gallon.

This is really great mileage and much more than the milage shown on the new car stickers in the US. (which I think is 28 mpg in the US).

The Q5 20T requires premium gasoline I believe.

Let me know if I have the numbers right. I thinking of buying one!

One thing to note too is that the car's 8.9 L/100km also takes into account idling periods in traffic as well the gas used to start the ignition. Your calculation is correct assuming the car is on the move all the time.

Either way it's pretty impressive. Fantastic car unnoticeablehttp://www.mobilewhack.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-getting-android-2-1-update-sometime-next-month/ gas consumption difference between the 2.0T and the 3.2.

You should go for it.

I did a 860km road trip on Saturday. 80% highway 20% city (got stuck in traffic on the 401 for 1.5 hrs, we were at a stand still almost the entire time) A/C was on 80% of the time. 4 adults & a baby with some approx. 50lbs of cargo.

While driving back home, I gased up at 1/4 tank and took 58 liters.
When I arrived home, I consumed 1/4 tank. I'm estimating I did the entire 860km trip with approx. 75 liters.

8.7 liters / 100km so far, but my car is still new and still breaking in. There should be more room for improvement.

** The handling/stability and passing power on the highway was amazing! I was doing between 120-140km/hr and the availability of passing power within this range was very impressive. (Considering I have the 2.0T 211hp)

Very impressive, I'd expect yours to go down to probably 8.4 after you break it, which will make it slightly less than 3.2.
