And that means it’s almost new car time for us!! Got an email from our ‘vehicle concierge’ yesterday reminding me of this fact. Oppo, I present to you, the contenders and requirements that brought us to those contenders. Our current is a Q5 similar to the one below.

Required:
- Audi (I’ve tried very hard to convince my wife to consider submissions from Alfa, Volvo, and a few others, but she’s dead-set on Audi, which is fine by me)
- SUV (Once I gave up on other brands, I pushed for other Audi vehicles, particularly coupes - I did get her to seriously consider one!)
- Performance (As fine as our Q5 2.0T is, we both want something with a little more pep in it’s step)
- Warm Weather Package (I hate to lose those lovely quilted seats, but we like ventilated seats and it gets fucking hot in Chicago)
- Cold Weather Package (It gets fucking cold in Chicago and heated steering wheels are nice)

Contenders (in order of likelihood):

Audi SQ5, Moonlight Blue:

Very similar build to this one from AudiWorld

Audi Q5, Moonlight Blue:

Moonlight Blue is pretty, but I’m digging the Black Metallic.

Audi S5 Coupe, Mythos Black Metallic

This being my personal top choice.

The S5 is my top choice, but I just have a hunch my wife will demand really prefer the SQ5. Which is, again, fine with me. Also, for some reason, she didn’t like Navarra Blue on the S5. She crazy.

Was the Sportback S5 not of interest for her?

SQ5 is a pretty fantastic car. She’ll be happy with it I’m sure.

I think so, I drive more often than she does, but I’d be happy with any of the top 3 options.

I love them, but she wasn’t crazy about it when we saw a few during preliminary shopping back in Sept. If we go sedan, it’d be S4 I think. But, when we go back to the dealership in the next few weeks, I’m going to ask her again about it.

I’d recommend test driving a Porsche Macan. It’s basically a Q5, but sweeter.

Trust me, it was discussed.
