WIll be interesting to see how the position this in the line-up given that they'll continue to sell the gas powered version alongside it. I'm more excited to see what Audi does w/ this platform (PPE), because it sounds like they plan to build a next-gen A5/S5 sportback off of it.

Ha- I remember that same word being used all the time when I lived in Munich. Made me realize how the Germans are able to design such good cars.

For sure. My point was more around the cost savings aspect of buying new vs lightly used. For example, take a look at Edmund's projected costs for a 2020 panamera vs a 2018 model. While there is roughly a 25k a price difference, the difference in total ownership cost over 75k is only about 10k...
