news from the competition (Q5)

looks like a Q5 3.0T could give the X3 35i a run for the money... i just hope they figured out steering better than big-GM-suv like the Q5's i test drove last summer

also looks like perhaps a diesel Q5 in the US in the future, but its pretty non-specific. maybe that will prod our friends at BMW to do the same

Don't get your hopes up too much. An engine similar to that has been available in Europe for ages. Vs the 30D X3 it's 10mpg imperial / 8.3 mpg US worse and it's slower. You need the BMW diesel in the US, but you know that!

The wife drives a '12 Q5 3.2, very nice. Tried the X3 but she wasn't crazy about it, did not like the outside look. We traded my A4 for it and I got her 09 328i, now I have to make do until it is paid for so I can get something that makes me smile again.
