The new standard in mid-size SUVs: The 400hp Audi Q5S

From George Kacher we are all size mad? Or why do so many drive off on the enormous Q7? The success of the first super SUV from Ingolstadt is already a phenomenon. As last manufacturer came AUDI with its five-meter breaking into, which did not seem so at all to fit into our time. But all crisis gossip is rubbish. The Germans want apparent these road cruisers 21st Century. And in such a way the Q7 at first attempt overhauled its stable companion VOLKSWAGEN Touareg (55,000 to 52,000 cars worldwide from January to October 2006), is even until March 2007 sells off.

We are really getting ahead of ourselves here. We haven't even seen the release of the Q5 yet, OR any official renderings or pictures and we're already talking about a Q5S?? Let's hold our horses here guys...

Looks nice. Not sure if there will be a Q5 with 400 or so hp.

Of course there will be!

From the mid-90's the German Luxury makers got into an electronic gadgets war that killed the reliability ratings for all of them, as they rushed stuff to market too fast.
NOTE to GERMANY: Don't try to beat the Japanese at Electronics!

Now they're off the gadgets band-wagon and on the horse-power band-wagon. Much Better! The Germans are engineering engines!
NOTE to JAPAN: Don't try to beat the Germans at Drivetrains!

So, a Q5 with at least a V8 is a logical development a couple of years after the base model debuts.
