I drove the 2.0t, it is owesome!!! Great pick up and the 8 speed tranny is a lot nicer than I thought, smooth, precise, quick shifting. I can see it being a winner in no time at all, and I can see the 3.2 engine being discontinued as well. At 211 HP and 258 ft/lbs of torque, it is plenty of power for me. Now, if we had access to the 3.0 TDI hmmmm, that would be even nicer.

No doubt the engine is sweet. Audi makes amazing engines BUT, 211 HP for this car is not enough (this is my opinion) let's not start a war here ppl .

It's important to look at the engine size and power of the cars in it's class. As a buyer these things get compared. Let's look at the GLK, the RDX, the X3, the XC60, the EX35, most of these cards are being redesigned in the next 2 years, it's important to look a head.

I know manufacturers that have managed to squeeze more than 211 HP from a non turbo 2.0 engine. I think Audi can do better and it would certainly be a shame to see the 3.2 engine go. Not everyone is a turbo fan.

I also really hope Audi has fixed the oil problem they have had on the 2.0t engine.

We all have different requirements when it comes to "enough" power. 4 cylinder engines are here to stay, and Audi builds if not the best, close to it.

Don't get me wrong Audi makes the BEST 2.0t engine in the world I think. Award winning indeed. I just hope the Q5 stays up to par with competition all the time. I think key right now for most consumers is efficiently coupled with power. I cannot wait for the Hybirid engine.

Hello my friend. I am very excited for the game and the sun. Next weekend works for me as well call me up anytime.

I am still waiting for the bulbs to arrive in the mail. Hopefully we can do it together next weekend.

Good luck.

I'd be interested in hearing the 'real world' fuel consumption results for the 2.0.

I've always believed that cubic inches were king; but this 2.0 with an 8 speed transmission is causing me to rethink. I'm looking forward to taking one out for a test drive.

What does Audi charge for delivery? Has it really gone up to over $3000?
