That must be one very small car if its on a boat. Maybe its on a ship. ;)

Congrats! Can't wait to see pics of your new SQ5. I really like those.

Hopefully it's not a FGB and it will make it to destination without any check engines light.  ;D

OK.  It's a Q5 2.0 TFSI Progressiv.  Options = panoramic sunroof, adaptive headlights and TPMS (<---no, not kidding.)  Our dealer begged us for our present Q5 to sell on their used lot as they're very hard to come by.  They made us an offer that was impossible to refuse and now the new one's on the boat.  Kinda fun tracking its passage!

FYI, the Q5 has three trim levels this model year versus two last year.  Komfort, Progressiv, and Technik.  The Progressiv model has a couple of extra goodies that ours didn't have including a power liftgate, headlight washers, etc.

Nice!  Lease up on your current Q5?

Nope.  Only 2.75 years in to a 4 year lease.  We weren't anxious to get rid of the car, but the new one's the same price and I write it off against business so it was a no-brainer.  They'll even flip our factory high-tech Audi trailer hitch installation http://www.autos.ca/forum/index.php/topic,80928.0.html to the new one with no extra $$ changing hands.  Pretty sweet.

Ha was going to ask about the hitch.  Sounds like a good deal.
