Garage space for one reason…only have room for one car that does it all. I didn’t get my M3 until the E90 was available because I needed 4 doors with 2 kids. In Europe, especially Germany, I didn’t see a single 5er sedan, everything was a touring. As for G99, I was considering it (for uniqueness of touring and performance of M5) until I drove the XM, which was a complete disappointment. Won’t own another Audi, ever, so RS6 is out. Probably will end up with G60 540i or 8GC.

Wonder if these will actually sell well in the US?

Depends on how you define "sell well". But the #1 factor, I think, is if it comes in >$150,000.... nope. I might still, but > $175,000? Nope.

If it's priced too high ($150K+), we'll just see big discounts. Just like we are with the XM.

I haven’t seen my dealer discount their XM at all. Despite sitting on the lot since April.

What you seeing and where?

For sure. It's not a coincidence that they named both of them 60
