BMW lucky Q5 delivery out 9 months

Test drove a Q5 today - good car , although the wife hates AUDI and cant get her head around the steering, which is fairly weird.

Its a good car and makes the current X3 look very sad - Not sure if we can wait for the down-under release of the new X3, i guess its off to Mercedes as the ML is great buying currently.

Q5 build time is just way to long.

IF this is the case I bet the Q5 returns w/the 333hp Supercharged 3L sporting the latest 8 speed gearbox.

Mercedes for ML or GLK? GLK is same class as Q5 and X3.

Lease a current X3 for 2 years and get a new one once the first year bugs are worked out.

we are looking at the ML 350 CDI ------ Crazy prices being offered in Oz at the moment and BMW are way behind with delivery of the new X5 8 speed diesel.

The sterring BLOWS in the Q5. I loved my X3 and the Q5 is way better than all the other cars in the class and I can see why come would prefer it over the X3 but as for me I didnt because the sterring is actually lighter than a Caddilac steering and you cant get a mannual trans. Styling inside and out is dead on the money and the motor fits the car well. If they fixed the sterring it would be very hard for BMW to compete with the car as of now. I cant wait to see the new X3 against it. AUdi is lucky that the new 5 series is sold out for 12 weeks then also. Also with the ML be ready for a depreciation nighmare. They CANT GIVE those car away here. In fact it si one of the worst SUV I have ever driven. An Acura MDX does EVERYTHING better than the ML minus the vault like feeling of a German car. Do your self a favor and cross the ML off the list right away. Or if you want one buy a CPO cause they are dirt cheap because they cant sell any new.
