The parking lot itself is a mayhem of snow mobiles and monstrous trucks. Our Cayenne even feels fragile in that company, an RS6 would be a constant worry. Same when driving over the pass where huge plows are driving up and down during snow falls spraying gravel and rocks, if your windscreen is low from the ground as on a wagon your risk of windscreen damage is exponentially higher. The swarm of lifted pickups without mud guards poses the same risk of rock chips and windscreen cracks to your lows-lung performance wagon.

sounds like Texas too.. basically everyone had a truck and it's annoying. I called a few places to inquired about the RS6 and most are marked up $20-40K which is dumb. the car isn't special enough to justify that kind of markup. that alone seals the deal for me to get an G80 M3 with AWD. my wife might be unhappy when I order the CF bucket seats but that's the only way to go
