After inquiring more about the RS7, I am left with two options.

What are your thoughts guys, standard or performance?

RR LWB Autobiography.

If your spending 150k get the real range rover, not the sport.

The other great options have been listed: M5, M6GC or GTR

If you're going to spend that amount of money on a car, I wouldn't listen to other people's opinions. Everybody likes something different. Buy whichever vehicle suits you best.
I always smirk when I read these "what should I buy" threads, and then every post recommends something different.

Probably troll, but fuck it.

For ~150k, I wouldn't be looking at new; I'd be looking at a low mileage used Rapide or something similar.

Edit: Just to explain my reasoning, the Audi/Merc are bland for Vancouver. A7s and CLSs are quite common, and tbh I'm not a huge fan of the interior. For that kind of money, I don't want to be one more in the crowd.

For that money and purpose, a Tesla P85D is a no brainer.

Generally, people that can afford a $150k vehicle have the funds to buy it in cash (or damn well close to it). If you're needing to finance a $150k vehicle, you're probably stretching your budget, and should probably rethink what you're doing considering the massive depreciation you're gonna get hit with (the first little while, you'll probably owe more than the vehicle is worth after driving it off the lot).

Nevertheless, that's not what this thread is about... so my take is the RS7 as well. Style, power, luxury, and spacious for longer road trips.

Can't believe someone who's capable of earning $100K+ and willing to dispose $100K+ on a car while so indecisive and need opinion on RS

Thanks for your input guys. It definitely helped me consider some cars that I did not think of before.

Financing has nothing to do with wealth. With manufacturers offering all sort of attractive financing options, one'd be stupid not to take it.

It works out cheaper to finance vs. buy it outright. Why buy?

^really? How does one even dd that thing? It was one of the worst cars not a prius/corolla I have ever driven. It jerks from any sort of acceleration and it feels like there is a boulder on the back when ever it turns. I've never sat at the back before but it looks cramped af. Aside from aesthetics I can't imagine much pros of that car

In general, I'd agree with you. But in this context, I don't.

Let me know when you find those attractive financing options on an RS7, or other $150k+ luxury vehicle.
