Western Europe
Q5 Under The Tuscan Sun
Submitted by Andreas Dharmawan on Sat, 2009-09-19 08:50.
Many people visit this Northern Italy region named Emilia-Romagna for many world-famed attractions. The genius of men and the mystery of universe gave birth to the Renaissance movement here. Legends such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Giovanni Da Verrazzano, and Amerigo Vespucci shaped our sciences, arts, and exploring spirits.
For car enthusiasts, this region has another importance. Some say that the babies born here are very special. They are born with the need for speed. It is hard to argue with that statement knowing that this place has Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, Pagani Zonda, and Dallara.
Despite such exotic reputation, this region doesn't give the opulent impression that one would expect. Instead, tree-lined roads, simple creamy brick houses with red curvy clay roofs, Fiat's and Alfa's, and friendly residents compose most of the daily scenery here. In fact the understatement was so strong in Sant’Agata Bolognese village, about 21 miles from Bologna, that we mistakenly took the Lamborghini factory for a printing factory, and we drove past it.

By looking at the rows of Audi's at the parking lot, we felt like we had arrived at one of Audi service centers. The new Audi Q5 3.0 TDI we were driving fitted nicely between the Audi S6 and Q7 in the parking lot.
