I like it a lot. Now if I could convince the wife to let us buy it when her car is due for an upgrade, that’d be nice. We’d be the house with both a Mercedes and an Audi wagons.

I spoke to Audi North Miami and they are taking $5,000 deposits now. They don't expect delivery until Summer 2020 and no info on pricing, units or ordering guide.

After owning six Quattros since 1983 I chose the E63s wagon a winner over them all..
Hell I chose the E63s wagon over my 2016 Turbo S because the wagon is just that good in my opinion.

Really like the look but the cars seems surprisingly slow. Worlds apart from the M5C/E63s...

I like the looks and interior and exterior although not a huge touch screen everything person myself. Agree on the numbers. You’d expect they’d at least match the previous RS6/7 performance figures of 605 hp?? Let’s see what the real world numbers are. The added tech of all wheel steering and mild hybrid has to weigh something I’m sure.

My RS7 with 21” wheels and upgraded DRC sport suspension rides significantly better than my W212 on 19s (and the W212 rides better than the W213).

Interesting, I may look into one of the Audis. If the ride is not better than the E63 AMG though probably not interested, I wish they didn't use the 21's. Who knows the suspension my be such that they ride a lot better. To eCambell did they give you any idea on the price? Do they have adaptive cruise similar to the MB? Any other details? I really did not like my E63 Wagon all that much and hate to make another mistake without driving a car I'm interested in like I did with my E63Amg It's crazy because I really liked my 2012 E63 wagon. Just did not like the road manners of my 2018 nor the ride nor the really slow throttle response and the jerky trans and the threat of the check engine light issue or the diff issue plus had a rear vibration I could not seem to get rid of, I dunno maybe I just got a lemon. I do really like my E450 Wagon and may just end up with that long term, so far 16K miles on it since October and have been very happy with the car.

I’ll echo chiro’s sentiment that my 21” wheels on my S7 rode a lot cushier than my 20” wheels on the AMG. I got used to the AMG now and it is better once you set the right PSI but it’s still vastly different. The AMG also handles a lot, a lot better with very minimal body roll and pitch and squat. It’s all a trade off. I did cringe at the prospect of 22”s however. Those would get ruined here in Minnesota in one year.

Interesting.
FWIW I drove my 2020 R8 from florida to California. Other than a speeding ticket in Texas i did not deserve the trip was good....oh and the car did develop a slight right push and I ended in Vegas for 3 days...
