From the initial reviews of the Audi Q5 it looks like a German SUV/4WD is finally getting to grips with the 4WD/SUV market in the UK, and stands a good chance of weaning the UK public away from their love of the landy (in particular the Land Rover Freelander) something both BMW and Mercedes have had problems with in the past.
