have read a few articles today on where the q's are made and why they are taking so long to arrive,and it seems to be because they are made in india.does anyone know where they are made?

They are made in Ingolstadt (SP) AFAIK ?

Look at this video

The guys are talking German and the computer screen is in German.

Also, people may be getting confused with this statement from Wikipedia;

Indian models went on sale in 2009-06, and were built from Audi's Ingolstadt facility. Launch models include 3.0 TDI, 2.0 TFSI (211PS).

Audi announced Q5 assembly would begin in 2010-03 in India to avoid import taxes and compete with BMW AG, Daimler AG and Porsche AG in the world's second-fastest growing major economy

IMHO - Those Indian produced cars will be for the Asian/Far East market?

Robp where on your docs or what docs does it show where it is built?

Rapid - you just need to check your VIN number, if its starts W(AU) then it's made in Germany (therfore Ingolstadt).

Rapid, I have not heard or seen anything to suggest that European markets' cars are not made in Europe. I think you can get a VIN from the dealer way before car is delivered if you want to check.
