What’s the rationale for going G99? Just a change? Or do you like the interior and exterior better? Hybrid setup?

Number one reason is hybrid; second a change - I have bounced around Mercedes, BMW and Audi. Third - I think it is fairly priced.

Will do - in theory I am number one on my dealers list for a build. Time will tell. I am guessing it will be late spring/summer. Low volume dealer

So I’ve now experienced the RS6 performance post- break in. My thoughts are as follows:

-one of the best cars I’ve ever driven, without a doubt.
-the most comfortable “super car” I’ve ever driven with this much power and handling and especially given the cartoonish 22 in rims. Seats are lovely.
-handling is excellent. Car is on rails. Steering wheel is thin and provides some feedback although like all modern cars minimal. RAS = agility.
-sounds incredible. Blows my modern M cars out of the water.
-a fraction second of initial lag but then a ballistic missile. Rocket ship.

I don’t know what to say except I can’t fathom the M5 touring would be better in these terms except for that last bullet point. Looking forward to driving one when I get the chance.
