Nice ride... We picked up the same colour combo (quartz grey and cinnamon interior - sans S-Line) but with 19" rims. I'm very happy with the colour combo - I don't believe there are many Q5s with this combination in town - will keep an eye out for you in T.O.!

I've seen several in T.O with that color combo but non Sline. Only recently they allowed you to get Sline with no black interior. What did you do with the 20" that comes with Sline?

Sorry - I meant that ours is non-S Line (hence the 19" rims but with all the other goodies). I found it hard to justify more coin for the S Line package. It does look sharp though!

I was worried for a while when waiting for the car to arrive - I couldn't find any examples in town with the quartz grey/cinnamon colour combo. Needless to say, I had nothing to worry about. I'm very happy with the selection.

When I ordered there was a gray/brown in the bay so I got to see it but wife loves black so got black and brown which I'm happy about cuz there is lots of grays on the road so black is not as common (at least based on what I see).

I too got the 19 upgrade. Sline is nice but other than the front grill not much to it. I wasn't going to use the paddles. But I might dish out 700 and switch my grill to sline.

I think that white and black are the two most common I've seen in Toronto so far. Obviously the shipments have really started to flow as I seem to catch a Q5 every time I go out now whereas only a few were on the roads before April.

I guess it depends are when you usually drive in most cases I keep seeing the same Q5s I see lots of Lava and black. I was talking to 2 folks at Audi and they said Audi plans to keep a tight control on the release of the Q5. They don't want to flood the marker like BMW does with the 3 series. Could agree with him more.

Not so many outside the city. I don't usually see one more frequently than once a week.

Yea, in Calgary I've seen 2 in the last month - one white, one black. I certainly hope they keep it tight on releasing... it'll make ours seem that much nicer!!!!

Of course Audi guys will say they will keep the release of the Q5 tight. I do not believe that. They would sell as much as they can!!!! The only issue they have is that Canada does not get enough cars. Each country has a quota. The wait in Germany itself is 3-4 months for a Q5. Do not get me wrong. I am happy not to see too many Q5

That is true but I was told this after I bought the car and the folks who were telling me where service/parts department folks. Also bare in mind that they need to try and ensure sales from Q7 and A4s don't get impacted also the upcoming Q3.
