2009 Audi Q5 First Impressions

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
Sebring, Florida--The long-anticipated little brother to the Q7 is finally available, and I was fortunate to attend the Canadian Press introduction in Florida. Here, I was able to spend hours in both the standard Q5 3.2 and the 3.2 Premium. The difference between the two is in how much creature comforts you want. Not need, but want because the standard version is so comfortable I never even thought of moving up to the Premium. Mind you, when I drove the Premium, I never thought of going back to the standard version. After all, if your biggest decision is what color to buy and what type of wheel you want, that makes for a day of anguish! Full story...

Ten Minutes On Green with Audi's Johan de Nysschen
Interview with Audi President Johan de Nysschen - Fuel Efficient News, Car Features and Reviews - Automobile Magazine
At the recent 12 Hours of Sebring, we had a chance to sit with Johan de Nysschen, President of Audi of America for a brief discussion of what the company's point man thinks about green trends in the U.S.

We don't claim to know the personal histories of every auto executive, but it's doubtful few other corporate presidents grew up racing modifieds in South Africa. Johan de Nysschen smiles broadly as he remembers, "We gave those guys running small-block Chevys hell with used five-cylinder Audi 100s we brought down after they were done in the DTM."

2009 Audi TTS Coupe
2009 Audi TTS Coupe - Audi Sport Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
This is the most potent TT on the (U.S.) market, and the car looks and feels very good.

Our meteorologists were calling for four to six inches of snow last weekend, but I wasn't worried - I had the Audi TTS with Quattro. However, our example arrived with its nineteen-inch wheels wrapped in summer rubber, and no matter how valiantly the ESP fought to keep the car in check, the car proved virtually impossible to drive.
