Audi Q5 Hybrid
The Audi Q5 Hybrid, I like the way that sounds. I can see the commercial for the Audi Q5 Hybrid. A sleek Audi Q5 Hybrid racing through a corn field mowing down rows and filling up with the knocked down stalks of corn being sucked into its gas tank. Though it’s not official, it seems that the executives from Audi are talking about taking the new Audi Q5 green. The long awaited debut of the Audi Q5, scheduled to hit American showrooms in October may also offer an Audi Q5 hybrid model. In an interview with Automotive News, Joel Weinberger, head of Audi’s dealer council, revealed some interesting information about the Audi Q5 Hybrid. The cost of making the Q5 with a diesel engine will be over $4,000 per unit, a cost executives believe will be cost prohibitive, especially with the rise in worldwide diesel prices. The production of an Audi Q5 hybrid just makes sense. The world seems to be heading green, so why not an Audi Q5 Hybrid? People are seeking alternatives to fossil fuels that will help reduce global warming, save money and lessen our dependency on oil from the Middle East. By offering an Audi Q5 Hybrid, Audi will just be following other automobile manufacturers that have been offering hybrid cars for a few years. The Audi Q5 Hybrid just sounds right.

A Q5 hybrid sounds great to me. I’m in the market for a compact SUV and would buy the Q5 today if it were available. But it’s not. Why are the German carmakers in particular so far behind the curve in offering hybrids and alternative fuel vehicles? Did it really take a crystal ball to see that such vehicles would be very welcome in the marketplace fifteen, ten, or even five years ago?
A few months ago, I heard a Ford executive say, “Toyota got lucky with the Prius.” Lucky? What a moron! With people like him in charge at Ford it is no wonder the company is in such bad shape.
