And uneducated reply and totally wrong, the Q5 is based on the new MLP platform and has it's engine and quattro system from the new A4, where as the VW Tiguan is based on the VW Golf/Golf Plus and uses the Haldex AWD system with a transverse engine mounting. So far the Q5 has meet very favourable reviews, beating the current leaders (Freelander2 and X3) with ease. Most are reporting that it's the most car-like of SUVs currently on sale and that includes the mighty X6 with it's X-Drive technology, so it is clearly a drivers car among SUVs.
I haven't seen one myself but from photo shots the S/Line with the 20" RS4 alloys looks the business and with that 3.0TDI engine it is not short on performance, accelerating to 100km/h in 6.6s. If/when it gets the option of Sportdiff as is available with the S4 it will make it the king among SUVs, well until the new X3 arrives that is.
