Hi Phaeton,
Any pricing yet?
Or is this a one of?

[revivor]

On Carsales, there are a couple around the $120k price.

[phaeton]

They should be trickling through the dealers now ;)

[GippsCC]

So disappointed active climate seats, available on UK model, didn't make the cut locally. Still very nice though, and great pics Ben.

[docjames]

Thanks for the pics.

[Dutch77]

It's got nice presence.. but if I was forking out $120k for a SUV I think it might have a different German badge on it.

[FJ Steve]

what a weapon. 0-100km/h = 5.9 seconds.

Definitely on my bucket list.

[Big_Dave]

Well, after seeing the pics here I went down to Austral in Brisbane and test drove a white one.

Wow.
The acceleration is sooooo linear.
Not as potent as the R but gosh, its not far off it dynamically.
Took it through a couple of corners near home and was really surprised at how sure footed it was, and that was after a sprinkling of rain.
The suspension is first rate. I love the air suspension.

Now I had all but signed up on a new Audi SQ5, but this just felt better.
And bigger, which was also a consideration.


SO, have signed up for one this afternoon.
Liked the white so much chose that colour.
Arrives 30 July.
Yoohoo.
