I also noticed the Audi's are going for a large amount money right now, crazier is the used ones. There's already a small amount with some miles on them and they are still going for $130k! I even found a new one $40k over sticker. Its a nice vehicle, but not at all worth any markup. The only other luxury SUV I've seen with this much hype and markups are the new G-Wagons, which appear to be all sold out for 2021 and have markups as high as $75k!

That's ridiculous. An Audi dealership that I'm familiar with have sold quite a few RS Q8's and RS 6's but at a 4-5% discount and that's with supply issues. I would be more accepting on a RS 6 but dealer markup on something like a RS Q8/SUV? That's an easy pass.

I just love how Q8 feels like riding on a glass.

On point steering, sublime suspension and phenomenal handling. For me it really is about the handling and fun factor. Obviously I wouldn't track a SUV there are far better choices but I love a buttoned down feel and great steering over sheer straight line speed It also weighs under 5000lbs much lighter than all three of these making it feel much more tossable. No neutered exhaust either this is loud and mean LOL In this comparison the RSQ8 looks wise is head and shoulders over the others although I do not like it's driving dynamics at all and frankly prefer the driving dynamics of the Cayenne GTS significantly over any of these It's remarkable how fast these SUV's are though. Very impressive

These guys bring just the right amount of comedy and banter to their video's. I'm really surprised how composed and compliant the suspension is on the RSQ8, although short on power compared to the others. I would be curious how different this turned out if the RSQ8 was fitted with the optional 23inch wheels.

I kept my e70M until the M50i came out, which represented the perfect mix of performance and ride quality. The M is just a step up in regards to everything. I was definitely going to look in the RS6 but it is impossible to get hands on them and as a lifelong BMW gear head I need to get some seat time there. Plus I don't do ADM, regardless of exclusivity .... has anybody driven the RS6? A buddy of mine has the new AMG G Wagon, it is totally different to these here.

Love how they had to work in a dig on the "huge grills" again, despite the X5 having the smallest grill area of the three. Even better, they went straight from critiquing the X5 grills to the Audi, whose ENTIRE FRONT END is grill, and all they mentioned was the carbon fiber grill surround wasn't worth $5k. Even the "huge" grills on the new 4-Series (which they also brought up) are still smaller in overall area than the A5.

All great cars - the X5MC suited me better. I found the rear of the RS6 too "small" for what I needed and the Cayenne Turbo didn't have the turn in bite and biddability of the X5MC which I really liked, it shrunk the car around me and made it feel really assured in the corners. I knew there was a trade off ride wise and I was concerned about that at the time, but now I have it that trade off is definitely worth it (for me). It is definitely one in which you need to drive all of them before deciding - they do have their own characters and pluses and minuses and one will suit better than the others depending on where you drive, how you drive and what you like your cars to feel like.

Regarding the rear of the RS6, are you referring to the trunk space and flexibility or rear seating? The reason why Cayenne doesn't work for us the cargo space, lots of road trips to go skiing, lake house, beach etc.

For those cross shopping
Stay away from the Cayenne E Hybrid! Weighs significant lbs and drives completely diff then ICE Cayenne's which weigh 400lbs less than X5's. Turn in a "bite" with non e hybrid is far superior in Cayenne imo And as others mentioned the battery effects cargo area Whatever anyone cross shopping decides it's what's best for them but at least compare like products

We have three teenage boys, 2 large dogs and we surf and ski in Europe (although sadly not this year) so need space! We use a top box even with the X5. RS6 is a lot smaller across and out back so its hard to fit the crew in and even harder to get all the clobber in as well. But again - you have to drive it /test all that out and make your mind up.

I love Porsche - own Porsche and would have had the Cayenne in a heartbeat, but for me it wasn't as good. X5MC is just a more exciting steer and an event every time you drive it - I like that. |

Again different strokes from different folks but I found the steering and handling significantly better than X5M. Of course not as fast but being 400lbs lighter with the PTV, PASM, RWS feels much more dialed in to me on the handling front
