Now that its time to say goodbye, what next???

I have been racking my brain the past few weeks trying to decide what to get next. I want to stay in a sport SUV or maybe a sedan, but can't stand the large grills on the next M. Who knows where I end up, as of right now The Audi RSQ8 is looking pretty good! What do you all think or what are you looking at?

Easy decision for me, I'm going from my F85 X5M to the new F95 X5M. My order is in the order bank, just waiting for my dealer to get an allocation.

I love the new looks of the F95, especially the interior, and the technology is so much advanced over the F85.

That RSQ8 looks fantastic.
1)-RS6
2)-RSQ8
3)-F90 M5C
4)-F95 X5MC
5)-Keep the F85 X5M and get a manual M3.
6)-Just keep the F85 it's a fantastic automobile only gripe is the steering feel and exhaust.
7)-Maybe a GLE 63S that will solve the exhaust problem.

Yeah, probably have the price and 50 hp / tq less than the Urus. Based on the SQ8 getting pricing this week I'm estimating $120-130k

It does, I'd say its 80% Urus with Audi design cues to break it up enough not to take too many lambo sales.

Its the shape of those grills, they look like an angry beaver or something like that on the X, the Audi grill is big but feels less out there to me. The interior is what has me sold and now that APR honors the powertrain warranty repairs on their Plus tune adding around 140 HP / 170 FT-LBS that's going to be hard to beat.

That does make sense to me, the new grills kinda look like a pig from angry birds

The grills on the F96 are better mated to the front end than the F95 IMO, That would be my car of choice. I love audi's but those XM's are something else.

The RSQ8 looks amazing IMHO. I've owned both brands and generally I've enjoyed the M brand the most. However, I think Audi May have created a significant counter-punch in the luxury sport truck market. Obviously I'd need to drive both options to make an educated decision.

It really does! The black and other styling cues clearly reveal the family resemblance (with the Urus).

I was only considering the Urus, but need to look more closely at this Audi.

This car is gorgeous and friendlier to the wallet. If it gives the excitement as driving the Urus, it will be a no brainer for me.
