J.Seven:
Surprise indeed, the RS6 seems to have it all, powerful V8, aggressive look, lots of space, nice interior and I thought sport character too! The SQ7 being more fun than RS6 really doesn't make sense but I believe you.
If you want to go to the track, the RS6 probably makes more sense than the SQ7 of course but honestly, I had more fun in powerful SUVs than in the RS6.
The RS6 is very fast, a real delight on the Autobahn and it looks very good (actually, the RS6 is in my opinion the best looking station wagon on this planet...maybe until the Panamera Sport Turismo arrives but it remains to be seen).
Everything else...well...as a family car, it doesn't have room enough in my opinion, a SUV feels roomier and safer. The emphasis is on "feels" but this is a very important feeling for the family.
Yes, the RS6 is faster than a Cayenne Turbo or a SQ7, no question but the fun factor is just higher with the Cayenne Turbo or the SQ7 in my opinion. Don't forget that the Cayenne Turbo weights only 100 kg or so more than the RS6.
It may be a thing of personal preference (I always had a thing for powerful SUVs) but I would really prefer the SQ7 or the Cayenne Turbo over the RS6, as weird as this may sound.
I am surprised myself that I'm saying this, I almost got myself a RS6 Performance but it was a good thing I had the RS6 for a week because I realized that this is not the car for me. Amazing station wagon though!
