Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
You're a couple of days behind me on the build. I'm east GTA. Audi's delivery systems are frustrating and still can't get a definitive delivery date. Hoping to get an answer soon.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
I ordered a 2018 SQ5 at the end of February, I was initially told end of May beginning of June. I've now been told July... 
The dealer has been awesome though, and will be giving me a loaner tomorrow until my SQ5 arrives.

I am still trying to get a definite date for mine. I keep seeing the new Q5s all over town and it sucks to have put in the deposit back in January but still not top of the queue.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
Completed Production: May 5th
Shipped out date: May 18th (guess my car took a beach vaca for 2 weeks...)
Port Delivery (expected): June 13th at which point it would get trucked out to my dealer.
I think 26 days from Mexico to Toronto (or Vancouver, if that's the port) seems excessive! I could have driven there and back in 10 days if I took my time...
Let's hope they shave some time off the shipping dates...

On a side note... anyone notice the premium some dealers are charging for Q5's currently in stock? I saw Prestige models with asking price higher than Technik models configured online...

Feel your pain... I just got the following dates:
Completed Production: May 5th
Shipped out date: May 18th (guess my car took a beach vaca for 2 weeks...)
Port Delivery (expected): June 13th at which point it would get trucked out to my dealer.

Looking forward to the end of the saga and into the new Q5.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
I will say, the ordering part has been a very frustrating process. I expected more from a premium auto manufacturer. My completion date was April 26. Port delivery date June 6. Couldn't get an answer why it takes 6 weeks to get to Toronto. Good news is I received an email from my dealer advising me that the car arrived in Toronto on May 20. They still don't know when they will receive it.
Looking forward to the end of the saga and into the new Q5.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
OK, just received an update. Apparently there are a bunch of Q5s at the port for some time awaiting "quality checks". Not sure what that means and who is supposed to do a quality check after the vehicle has left the factory and arrived in Canada. No timeframe for when these "checks" will be completed. My car has been at the port for over 2 weeks now and not released to the dealer yet.
