Yeah it's going to be $$$.

I know that the RS5 starts at $74K, however I have yet to see one at my dealer under $90k, most are in the mid to high $90's and a few at $100K.. So IMO I see the RS6 Avant in the $115K+ range. And that's not even taking into account the dealer "exclusivity" markups in the beginning.. ...

I expect it [RS6A] to be priced pretty close to the E63.
E63S Estate MSRP: $109k
Add in some options & you're in the $130k range.

Early speculation I've seen elsewhere is guessing the RS6A will start just under $100k.

E63 vs. RS6

Man...that's a very tough pick for wagons. I would wager you'd throw in the Panamera Sport Turismo too into the conversation.

That's fine. I'll get outta your line and stand in front of the Porsche or Audi. Plenty to go around.







Wanna help me dig this hole to Fort Knox or what?

I think the Panamera Turbo is probably 1 level above those cars. Because Porsche. when loaded, it is close to 200k.

Works for me, 1 less person for you to fight for the Avant.

True, the Porsche outclasses them on price, especially loaded-up.

FWIW, if you have that much $$$ for an RS6, I think the Porsche is in consideration, right? Has to be.

um... There is $100k rich and there is $200k car rich...

That is the difference between $1500 a month lease payment and $3000+ lease payment. or an apartment vs. a 3 bedroom house

Even $100K car rich is a lot of money if they aren’t irresponsible about their spending.

Depending one where they live, I would say household income north of $400K a year at minimum.

From a straight-sprint, I believe the RS6 beats out the Merc...at least from what I recall on Top Gear's drag race.

The Sport Turismo Turbo S E-Hybrid optioned out with basically all the reasonably indulgent options (but not full shitlord leather doorsills and the like) was $238K. I think going full bananas you could get it over $250K.

Yeah...it's basically an RS6 + S5 for a Sport Turismo. Nevermind.

Not all, but a lot of those 200k+ premium sedans are all business/work related 1 way or the other (tax write off, owner of a business, paid by business and etc...) A normal 400k household income would really want to get that car to spend $3000+ to lease 1 car... and u know there have to be other cars in the house too.

OR there is a short cut, just do what i do. Buy Lotto tickets
