Hmmm, we recently ordered an exclusive PE, but it likely we won't get a build date until march or April. I got an invite with merc over to Geneva to see the e63s estate, can my RS6 be easy cancelled considering we won't even have a build date?

Will have to see. I am pretty sure the new e saloon and estate will only have the wider front wings which is a pity.

It's my wife's car. We have loved the C7 but the new interior is what is probably driving me to cancel and try the merc.

So when cancelling its a straight for 100% return of the deposit?

If there's no build then there's no confirmed order. Your paperwork will have all of the details.....

Go on - have a laugh - include a G63 in the list and see if you make a corner.

Nevermind those piffling efforts.

It's going to be heavy, but it's also going to be rapid. Quoted 3.4 to 62, it'll be less than that in reality. Still, that's all topped off by 66g/km CO2.

If co2 not zero though you'll see no benefit?

Maybe no road tax benefit but you will definitely notice the lower fuel bills.

Mr harris has done an 11minute road & track video review of it...

"It makes an RS6 feel a bit sluggish, i'll say that again, sluggish, and that thing feels like it's going to take off half the time!"

The C8 is going to have to be bloody good! :shock:

Ok, I'm sold - "this is a 4th gear left-hander" *car goes sideways past camera looking like Grenfell Tower*

Drop the mattè finish, make it anything but silver, hand me my piss soaked slippers and it might just be the last über saloon I'd likely own (only because we'll all be driving electric whitegoods on wheels soon enough).

If all this new Merc does is make the (4 year old) C7 feel sluggish then I don't think Audi need be that worried regarding power and what they need to pack under the hood.
