Panamera?

Always thought they were Fugly.

Like the G63 but its 40k over budget!!

Cannot think of anything that does what the 6 can do with the "kudos of the RS thrown in", as a complete package.

Panamera is a good shout. That’s a lot of car for 100k, definitely deals to be done on these when the showrooms open again.

Might find an FF for 100k. Just go eyes open on running costs.

Yeah, Panny sport tourismo.

I've had the same difficult question bugging me for a while now too... looked at the Panamera as one of the only real options out there but ideally need 5 seats and the Sport Turismo only allows for 4 and would need to decide which child i leave behind each time i leave the house. New RS is not doing it for me... I am not overly keen on all the screens in the new C8, amongst other things, but guess that's personal choice.

Just think the Panny and Sport Tourismo look a little bit odd; especially the sport tourismo, looks "stretched in a weird way" - just my opinion of course.. Was going to go down the Taycan route, but want one more fossil fuelled car before switching to electric.

There really is very little that can do what the C7 does in such a great package; Not interested in E63 etc as it doesn't have that "look" like the C7 does against other regular A6's, or that knowing look of people who "know what the RS is" and 90% of people don't.

Remember in my Sepang one, destroying a 9974S down a dual carriageway. Pulled up next to me at the lights few miles down the road and said "what the hell is that?" granted he had a porker, but wasn't a petrol head - half the fun of owning something like a 6.

Sounds like you are describing an M5 Competition. Get one less than a year old for about £65k or less. And as they are AWD you can drive it all year round. And faster than a C8 / C7.

Not sure if out yet, but what about an M8 gran coupe?

a C7?

Thoughts on the depreciation curve on the RSQ8 - between £10900 and £12700 discounts on Broad speed

Residuals are coming in around 40% after 48months from funders, marginally worse than the RS6

Anyone on here got one or had experience of one?

Have resided myself to the fact, I will have to p/ex my 6 as I can't see the climate changing selling privately for the foreseeable with lockdown etc

Not seen one on the road as yet (a bad omen perhaps) - wondering if it will haemorrhage money or have a similar "cult" following like the RS6 has....given it's the more masculine version of an URUS, which is an RSQ8 wearing a dress....

It’ll have your pants down badly!

I only want my pants taken down if she's 25 and a Swedish gymnast.....probably cheaper than the RSq8 too.

Unfortunately his name is Barry and he’d like you to pick up the soap.
