2009 Audi Q5


This is Audi's newest crossover, meant to compete with the new Mercedes GLK, the BMW X3, and the Lexus RS. It is built on the A4's platform. This is one of the best looking SUVs out there, only surpassed by Cadillac's new SRX. The engine is a 270-hp direct injection V6. In Europe and other global markets, the 211-hp turbo 4 is offered, and with gas prices and the economy being what they are, it would be a good idea for Audi to offer the engine here in the U.S. The price is $37,200, and it is hitting showrooms right now.

I'm not crazy with the look of this - no surprise there. Too bad about the 2009 Audi - I'll stick with my 2008.
