Audi A6 Allroad priced for the US. Nearly the cost of a Q8

200 months is 16 years and change. That would be the equivalent of someone taking out a sensible 3 year auto loan. Try harder at the maths.
I financed my used S4 like a lease, I have a lump sum at payment 48 to keep the other 47 payments low. At the same time, I have been saving that lump well ahead of when it's due.
What's nice is that the 300/mo that I would have spent won't be a strain in times when it could be tough. i.e. when the A3 needed $7k in work, out of the blue lol.
Anyway, I hope timing works out when these start coming off lease, because I'll be first in line.

What is the legroom comparison to an A6 Avant vs a Q5? The cargo capacity is tough to quibble over because the two cars have roughly the same cu. ft, but the shape of that space is different for each vehicle. The Q5 has a shorter front to rear but taller cargo area, whereas the Avant has longer front to rear, but shorter height profile with a more aggressive slope angle of the hatch glass. It's the passenger area that the A6 Avant/Allroad is going to be obvious to the dozens of potential customers who cross shop the two.

Those trucks mostly all have the 2.7T and none of them are Limited's or King Ranch.
So no, I don't see 20% off their highest trimmed vehicles, which is specifically what I was talking about.

And that's before you actually show any interest in them.

No. The person that wants the allroad has nearly zero interest in a Q8. They are not bringing the allroad over in droves like they are with the SUVs. There is definitely a market for this car, and it will sell well for its production numbers.
Also, pricing lines up exactly where it should. Has anyone looked at a comparably equipped A4 to A4 allroad? It follows just about the same amount of increase between the two.
Plus, I already mentioned earlier that the starting price of the new one (with many, many more features) is nearly the same as what one cost back in 2005 when factoring inflation.
But this is TCL, and people on the internet are generally idiots.
Do you have an order guide yet? And is the 20th prestige level?

Bingo.
My 325i was $34,600 in late 2003. That's the same as $48,000 today, but the new 3 series starts at $40,000.
Vehicles are getting cheaper. People are just getting dumber.

Yes and yes.
You fancy, son.
The 2003 3 series started at $27,800 which is $38,860 today (cheaper than $40k).
You can't compare your car with options to a base future model and call it apples to apples.
So nope, they're not getting cheaper.
Which options are available for each trim?
Did you just seriously passively but aggressively insinuate that I'm an idiot? I just need to be clear so there's no misunderstandings.
Why is no one talking about the mercedes e400 wagon? This seems like the closest competition and the e400 costs a little more than the A6 allroad. Who cares about the Q8 in relation to any wagon? I wonder what a similarly equipped V90 XC would cost as well---the base price is certainly a lot more palatable.

Fair enough.
Worth mentioning there is far more value in that $40,000 of today's car versus the base car from 15 years ago.
I wasn't specifically referring to anyone. But yeah, a lot of people are complaining about the price when it's completely unfounded if you look back at previous pricing and know how to enter data on a CPI calculator.
Take it however you want.
