Looking at one or the other, now have a dog in the family so need either a hatchback or estate. Looking at newish car so fancy the performance version of either car, 605ps one
thing is dog will go in the back of the rs7 hatch, so why would I go with the avant?...in many ways avant looks very good styling wise & in some ways more practical, but how often do I need a full estate?
obviously both 4 wheel drive which I want also. Did look at Merc C63 estate, but styling not floating my boat & not 4 wheel drive, which is useful in winter when you live up a farmers lane etc

So which should I go for RS6 Avant or RS7?...cannot decide

Yes I agree I think, I will have a mooch round the audi garage at weekend, but do agree so far I think the RS6 avant styling pips the RS7, flared arches & more purposeful looking....

An interesting thread as it turns out in the end!

Got to be an RS6 avant plus I think, childishly like the 605 bhp as much as I am sure it wont feel that much different to the 560 model, but as I say being that childish I like the sound of 605 bhp more !!
think styling wise it has it for me as well, the flared arches & some lovely spec ones, so it sits & looks well for an estate, struggle a bit with the RS7 styling, and to be honest having a dog now & a keen cyclist , the estate bit will be more useful.
Cannot get on with the panamera styling at all I am afraid so that's a no go anyway
Used to have a maser GT, lovely sounding car, and I agree I don't think its that dated inside, but agree I think the stradale interior is far nicer with the alcantara etc, the normal dash & door cards in the GT are a bit 'plastic' for an Italian beast, that's the bit that annoyed me. Sounded epic & drove nicely, yes infotainment system was a little 'old' but GT still a stylish car that looks good in & out in my eyes
anyway thanks ...RS6 it is....
