The car looks amazing and the interior is incredible. Congrats.
Mine should be at the dealership this week. Hoping to pick it up by Thursday at the latest.

Mine finally arrived at my dealership on Monday. There was no sense of urgency to let me know until yesterday. I am picking it up Saturday morning because that's the earliest they can deliver. This saga is finally over, now hoping that the car is not a lemon.

Wiz, interesting that they did not bother to let you know until yesterday. I will tell you if your experience is the same as mine, you will love the new Q5. I am more and more impressed everyday. I hope you enjoy enjoy as much as I do. Post the pics!

Picked up the car this morning, the drive is much more refined than the first gen Q5. Will post some pictures later.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
Hey there drfe99 and wizzofoz! I'm in the same boat...ordered Navarra Blue SQ5 Technik in mid-late February & told May delivery date. Once May rolled around it was "week 22" build (end of May-early June), with deliver in late June/early July. Now being told it's build next week & probably delivery in late July-early August...uuggghhh!! How did you find your information about the delays in production & vehicles held at port...was it directly from Audi Canada or from your dealers? I'm getting very little from our dealer. I've been worried from the start about a completely new vehicle build at a completely new factory (in Mexico of all places!!)...hope I don't get stuck with a lemon!

As for the car I had the exact same concerns as you and all I can say is based on the last two weeks of driving the new Q5, I'm not worried about the lemon concerns. I know its early but this Q5, is far superior to the last one I had.
Overall, Audi has blown the manufacturing and delivery of their Q5s. I know people that will not consider the Q because of the delay. It's a same because it is a great SUV.

I am in the same boat, ordered a Teknik Sline from Audi Windsor in March and haven't received any updates. Was told would hear something by end of June and nothing. Will be calling the sales manager in the next day or so to find out what's going on.
