In "Merica" (USofA), where they don't understand diesel as a performance option, the SQ5 has the 3.0Tfsi engine.
I expect it has shorter gearing too to make it rev a bit harder.
I like the way a diesel produces power, I like the theory on how it burns, long injection pulses, complete combustion, efficiency and torque. i just don't like the smell (raw, or burnt) of the fuel, the carcinogenic nature of it or the relatively unrefined characteristics. Not sure I could live with it (though the 4.2tdi could convert me) and VAG diesels are seriously on the nose at present.
