Auto Bild Unveils Audi Q5

After breaking the embargo of the VW Routan, German car magazine Auto Bild has this time unveiled the Audi Q5. Well we're not sure if these are official images from Audi or just good photoshops.

The front end seems to be a nice mixture of the Audi A4 and the Q7 fascias, while everything aft of the A-pillar looks like the Q5's big brother at two-thirds scale. The rear light seems like carried over from Audi's show vehicles, including the Cross Cabriolet Concept.

The Audi Q5 will be officially unveiled next month in Geneva.
