Don't be so sure. Audi is a master at AWD vehicles. The A4 2.0T quattro was dubbed "sportiest in class" in a 2006 comparison test of AWD sports sedans (which did, incidentally, include the BMW 325xi).
Even if the X3 is fantastic to drive, the horrible transmission basically nullifies it. The Q5 will use the same perfect ZF six-speed as in the Jaguar XK/XF, and it should come with the 3.0TDI some time next year, although that's only a guess.
