Tell that to the RS6 Avant owners or E63 Wagon guys. There’s definitely an appetite for wagons in the US.

Exciting car. Lame video. Let’s see it

honestly the m5 wagon is a better buy/value over the sedan and any rivals for sure.

There are 235 RS6 for sale on Autotrader.com right now.

Yes, but the Audi actually looks good.

All 6 of them outside of YouTubers?

There must be 4194 Youtubers with RS6 then.

Yup, I guess that settles it for me

The public at large may never know the rationale for how BMW decides to launch new products. XM is clearly a product which tests the comfort envelope of BMW enthusiasts - whether by intentionally or by accident. The sales statistics are self evident. The new G90 M5 hasn't departed the comfort envelope by a wide mile, ignoring the weight and other early disappointments. Again, best to wait for the sales statistics.

Audi dealers in some US cities are still marking up RS6 by as much as $50k. I'm seeing rumors on Audi forums of listings at $199k.

No question it's in higher demand than supply.

Is this thing a plugin hybrid also?

Still can’t believe the legendary M5 is getting this shit show. The car will be the slowest barge on the planet with all that weight and you’ve used the 20 odd miles of range. What are they thinking?

This thing is indeed a plug in hybrid. It's going to be insane acceleration. Insane. Gone are the days of that whee bit of lag when mashing pedal.

Not here in So Cal. My friend picked up a 2024 RS6 at 5% off msrp back in March and he is regretting it now that the market dumped. A used 2024 RS6 with 2500 miles just sold for 20K off msrp on BAT. Audi's historically depreciate like crazy. The covid market stopped that for a while, now it's getting back to normal.

You are pretty badly mistaken if you think the M5 G99 will sell anywhere close to what the RS6 sells.

I am with you on that one. The first M5 Wagon in a long time, and we get a overweight half assed hybrid car.

Don't get me wrong, its still most likely going to be a good car, but not the car we enthusiasts wanted.

I'm not saying it will.
I was just reacting to the "6 people outside of YouTubers" exaggeration.
