I went to test he Q5 and GLK. Hands down the Audi Q5 is a way niccer and better car. I just wished to have $40k to buy one now. Times are though and I can have another financial commitment, unfortunately. I can't wait to see the Q5 with a TDI version. The dealer said in probably 1 to 2 years. idrinorbarsaku,

And I just happen to have just bought one. Of all the crossovers in this segment, I would not even look at the GLK. UGLY! Q5 might be priced a bit higher, so so worth it for the nice interior quality and overall better looks. Funny, the Audi Q5 seems to be selling higher than expected.

I dont think you did your homework. Lets see... A, B, C, CL, CLC, CLS, CLK, E, G, GL, GLK, ML, R, S, SL, SLK, SLR, U (unimog), Viano, Sprinter, and all their other commercial vehicles like the Vito, Vario, etc. umm they have a HUGE amount of models Borat, especially in Europe with all their commercialized vehicles as well.

In Europe they have usual alphabet soup: A-E class and S-class plus 3 SUV/CUV and a van. Within those models they have ton of engines. In US choices are limited to 3 cars and 3 SUV/CUV. Van comes from Dodge label on it. Actually Benz does not have that many models. In Europe they have usual alphabet soup: A-E class and S-class plus 3 SUV/CUV and a van.

It's quite a capable machine when configured that way. Otherwise, I'd go Q5 with it's standard features. How about bringing the OFF-ROAD package that’s offered in Europe.

No surprise there, you wouldn't want to be caught dead owning one – which most buyers figure out after 6 months.

Has anyone seen the Q5 for example? I don't think this is about money or options packages. Maybe the problem is more about the box on wheels styling, or the below average quality ratings of Mercedes.

Does anyone expects to spend less then 40K walking into M-B showroom? You get Chevys costing 50% more then that. I thought that Benz positioned it aggressively to compete with X3.
