As of yesterday I'm the proud owner of a 2016 Q70 (3.7) with AWD. I love this car. It kind of feels like I'm dating a girl who's out of my league. Just gorgeous. I guess my model is a sport touring but it doesn't have the red S. No paddle shifters or upgraded pedals either. I still want my red S dangit.

Congrats. Sorry, but you have a base model. Sports models come with paddle shifters.

Thanks kmiles, that's one way to fix the red S problem. I'd just need a template to mount it in the right spot.

It's Hermosa blue with the sport touring package. This is the description from an options brochure:

"Sport Touring Package – Requires Premium, Sport and Technology Packages.
Bose® Studio Surround® sound system with 5.1-channel decoding, 16 speakers • Power rear sunshade"

Yet it doesn't have everything (no paddle shifter or aluminum pedal accents) the sport package has. How would I be able to tell if it has sport suspension? Since it's AWD if probably doesn't have that either.

The paddle shifters are probably just a novelty and I wouldn't use them much. I am thinking about getting the rear spoiler for it though.

You probably got the Performance Tire and Wheel Package. It consists of the 20" sport wheels and the larger brakes as standalone options. Although, you have to realize that some items are very easy to install onto a base model vehicle.
Do you have a heated steering wheel? Are the front seats heated and cooled or just heated?

To know your package options with some certainty, we'd need to see pictures of a few key areas. Or, option 2 - I can't verify the accuracy of this recommendation to 100%, but - you can also buy your vehicle's Monroney sticker from www.monroneylabel.com, where it gives a "car dealer window sticker" specific to your VIN.
