2021 Audi RS7: The bargain of the V8 Audi Sport Trifecta!

[@bencritchley2005]

Really enjoy your content but I find it going a little stale when you feature so many cars which are very similar.

[@MotoManTV]

Excellent point, Ben. One I would like to address here. There seems to be a misconception that I only feature Porsche, Mercedes AMG, BMW and other similar type cars on the show. However, that could not be further from the truth. As a huge proponent of EV and other alternative propulsion technologies, I do feature them with some regularity. Some recent examples: 2021 Toyota Mirai: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jai4cp2df55ni9k 2021 Porsche Taycan RWD: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmPdXmp6oruXqqs 2021 Audi e-Tron Sportback: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fSZ2Bsh8uhmbc As a massive proponent of living a debt free life, I also like to feature attainable cars that are still good to drive and live with. 2021 Mazda CX-30 Turbo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2WTqYWgZpxmm6M 2021 Toyota RAV4 PRIME: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3fHk6pjqdVle5o 2021 MINI Cooper SE EV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hICwoKelmtdnhZo There are other examples featuring American cars, British Cars as well as others. That's great, but why do I bring this up? Well, all of those examples above have one thing in common: They didn't do as well as an episode featuring a Porsche, Mercedes AMG or a BMW. Despite them not doing as well, we still feature them but the reality is, not as many of you guys watch those episodes . . . . hence why you see Porsche, Mercedes AMG, BMW and now Audi with more regularity. Would love to feature more variety on the show as well as do the RETRO DRIVE REVIEWS you guys used to see but this is a business and if you guys don't watch a certain type of episode, we cannot continue to feature them and stay alive. So here's the ask . . . Would greatly appreciate if you guys could watch episodes that may not be the most exciting car or the car you drive, hit the like button and most importantly *share the full KZbin link* on all your socials, especially on Reddit. If more of you did that, we could get back to more variety - including RETRO DRIVE REVIEWS. Thanks for bringing up the point, Ben, and thanks for watching!

[@Tony-hj7bm]

bro I think you are one of the best I can't believe how your views are this low you at least deserve 750k subs hope you will reach that I'm sharing your video on every platform

[@mr.b9582]

His reviews are for petrol heads/Car guys. And those are a rare breed these days,

[@MotoManTV]

Thank you, Tony! Sharing the episodes is probably the biggest single aspect that would help us greatly when it comes growth. I used to make mention of it in every episode - including sharing on Reddit - which most viewers didn't act on, so I will say it again here . . . would really like to increase the reach of this show and be able to bring you guys some new types of episodes but that would require more subs/views which all starts with more shares.

[@NiTeHaWKnz]

@@mr.b9582 I'm not much of a petrol head, I'm just here for Kumo.

[@reanetsemoleleki8219]

Did you just call him "bro"? 🤣

[@Tony-hj7bm]

@@reanetsemoleleki8219 wtf is your problem

[@brandonbergeron4668]

We need the RS4 avant. If the RS6 is selling that well the RS4 would sell like crazy.

[@eddstarr2185]

Dear MotoMan, each frame you share with the Audi RS7 the car seems to grow in size. By the end of the video I'm having Oldsmobile Ninety Eight flashbacks. Let me commend you on the excellent driving portion of your video. The smile on your face tells me, "this Audi ain't no Oldsmobile". My dad never smiled behind the wheel of a Delta 88!

[@GY9944]

Okay Mr.MotoMan you surely know how to make our mondays

[@MotoManTV]

Kumo and I try:)

[@nickob]

lol. I love that he is so casually shredding this road with deadly cliffs on each side.

[@Manlyman120]

Always on edge when he's driving and talking lol absolute skill

[@reanetsemoleleki8219]

Is talking considered distracting?

[@colinashby3775]

Ok, my question is the generator life better than a starter motor when it comes to continuously starting the engine when in stop start conditions

[@Rybny21]

Really good episode, energizing and informative! Big fan of the show. Mr MotoMan could you maybe compare a little more with respective rivals? And when will you drive a new Vantage? Cheers

[@Tony-hj7bm]

you are absolutely right about navara blue and aluminium pack

[@wrzl1675]

FYI. People living in Minnesota, Michigan and the Dakota’s and especially in those first two states own pos cars they drive in the snow ( they call them snow beaters) and then they own a nice car that they drive in the nicer weather. The reason for this is that it snows all winter long, for the most part and the rust from all the salt and ice melt massively shortens the life of the car you drive in the winter.

[@maytaff]

I’m in LA and the Audi dealer near me has a RS6 Avant for $50k over sticker. All of their RS cars are listed over sticker but the RS6 is the craziest.

[@rsmith2320]

When is Audi going to send you an RS E Tron GT? That may be the direct competitor to the RS7. I look forward to your review of that beauty!

[@MotoManTV]

Soon enough . . . and also looking forward to driving that one!

[@IceDree]

$35k markup? M, you should see the markup for the new S-class here! A frickin $140k markup over MSRP, and this is the 6-cylinder model. The G63 also had a similar crazy markup when the new one first came out.

[@bvans6439]

Having owned an Audi RS some 10 years ago - I loved it - until 30k miles and maintenance was required. First, tires which the dealer required 2 tries to balance. I quickly moved dealers and the service was identically terrible. It only became worse from there. I swore off Audi ever since. Have the dealership service mechanics improved since then? I'd love to give Audi another shot. Let me know new owners. Thx.

[@GY9944]

I get the desire for the RS6 but paying 30-35 large premium for one? That'll be a nah from me - that puts it in Porsche price bracket and German trifecta usually don't do so well when they're priced in Porsche levels. If I visit an Audi dealership and I have 2 similarly optioned RS6 with a huge mark-up on it and an RS7 standing in front of me, I'm getting the '7.

[@brianhearn4449]

I live in Calgary, Alberta. One of the Mercedes dealers here is asking more than $100,000 over asking for a G63 AMG. Good luck to them!

[@allanmedrano3278]

Amazing review as always! Keep up the excellent work!

[@gouldnj]

I like that you have shaken up your episode a little bit and added more “value” to it. On the subject of the RS6, I am actually in the market for one and on the fence between one of those as a daily or a 911 Carrera S. They are plentiful on the market for sticker price if you are willing to pay to ship it. I’d love your feedback between the Porsche or the Audi? I’m a single dad, 2 teenage boys, have a second vehicle, small dog, out of my league girlfriend, just want something fun to drive.

[@taradis5659]

I got an R7 hybrid in Germany, I like it much more than the R6 station wagon just because of how it looks! I personally do not like station wagons! (Pls do not hate me :) ). And for the next question: why would I pay for it: Ja well, it was offered to me as a part of my job contract to choose a car as my daily driving car! So I did not pay for it!

[@MotoManTV]

You clearly have a good gig:)

[@leekindell9937]

Vorsprung rs7 i have does not have that air suspension, it has the better spring and adaptive damping system, for better handling, and my Vorsprung has steel brakes but is unlocked to 174mph

[@marcovanni1851]

You drive fast cars and speak a thousand words in one minute. Good quality multitasking :)) It's ridiculous what dealers charge over MSRP; there should be a law about this lol Beautiful RS7; the LED lights and retractable spoiler stand out but would still choose the E63S

[@JMagic21824]

I'm in the metro Atlanta area, seeing RS6 Avant prices varying depending on the dealer... I've seen a couple used models with less than 1,000 miles on them going about 10 grand over sticker (Audi dealer as well as non-Audi dealer). Most new are at least advertised right at MSRP. I won't pay over sticker when I finally pull the trigger. For comparison sake, in a 50 mile radius in the big car search sites I've seen 2 E63 wagons and one Porsche Sport Turismo... Used or new. I'd agree that the hot wagon market is underserved... Imagine if the manufacturers built a mid-level version a la M550 or E53 AMG?

[@timw2083]

An E53 Wagon would be awesome!!! It has more useable horsepower in my opinion

[@robertbonefant8271]

I live just north of Boston. My Audi dealer said because I am a good customer he would only Charge me $ 20K over sticker for the RS6

[@yes8032]

👍the best fastback ever

[@JohnGuidetti751]

Panamera... Amg GT 4 door.

@@JohnGuidetti751 nah

[@MohCars_]

Can you try & do the new Escalade ESV when you get a chance? :) Had 8 of them from 2004 - 2014 before switching to a vette + cayenne, then added an X7. Absolutely love the X7 but wondering if I should switch back & would love ur input

[@Evan-memo]

I love this so much only issues I have with big engines with Germans is if something go wrong while engine needs to be out

[@aurorajones8481]

Sometimes the lack of production of a widget that is selling overly well is the result of the supply chain. The engine? Can they make enough? I do agree perhaps they should do a 20k price bump for 2023. LOL But if you can only build so many you put caps on it. Its possible. I dont know if thats whats happening here.

[@gibshall2007]

You do have the steering set to dynamic mode, Correct?

[@tomwreford6624]

Hi demand here in the UK for RS Q8 and RS6 but it over sticker. Rs7 more likely to get a deal on

[@TheKingkingg]

Beautiful car

[@timw2083]

The RS4 Avant would be great also

[@skillz1855]

Like how the system isn't on top of the dashboard

[@yes8032]

Me too it looks very clean

[@my4cars528]

There's KZbinr who said he's probably gonna sell his RS6 soon

[@ke9938]

What about the RS7 with DRC?

[@Evan-memo]

I love this car so so much

[@ronstopfer2315]

The Avant is a beauty. But not ONE DAMN CENT over MSRP!

[@aleksandarvelickovic980]

I don't understand why people like station wagons I used to own audi a4 wagon and I f****** hated it so I sold it. Sedans and sports cars work way better for me

[@johnadair6108]

I could see the turbo lag...ugh.

[@aidancoggins534]

Easily one of my favorite cars.. but at that price Porsche is gonna get my money.

[@eriknephrongfr8847]

“Huge demand “? C’mon. Annual sales figures, please.

[@cls63amgwagon34]

Demand != production numbers

[@frontrowtennis]

RS7 is very difficult to find and is going for 10k of more over sticker

[@Todd.T]

1. I like the car 2. They should have left the elimination of the "tornado line" down the side of the car on the A7 series only to further distinguish it from the A6. People that own the A6 like the body crease. 3. The elephant in the room... It's too slow. It should run 11.1 in the quarter. The times quoted can be run and barely beaten by a 3.0T A6/A7 with a pulley change 93 Octane and software and heaven help you if those cars are running E85 because you definitely just lost. Mercedes and BMW have set the bar. The old RS6/7 was a hair faster.

[@blkdavid]

I bet the people who are buying these cars that are $35,000 over sticker are CEOs that get a monthly allowance for their car and they just add the price into the four-year payment

[@timonxDlol]

The biggest issue about this car: M5/M8 GC and E63s/AMG GT 63s. They are just superior

[@Fiwek23452]

Even the previous generation is better

[@vladsta3833]

money aint a thang

[@bobbybo1245]

Its just not fun if you're not pushing a V8 to its limits on the hills lol

[@reanetsemoleleki8219]

It ain't a station wagon. It's better.

[@SlowDriver2024]

Person who pays over sticker for a car has two reasons behind, stupidity & desperations. Look at the Civic type-R when it was first released, every Honda dealer were charging at least 5-10k over sticker, now that poor bastard is everywhere on cars.com & autotrader. I don't feel sorry at all for those who paid over sticker for something, thats widely available now then.

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

Maybe hot wagons are catching on in the motherland? Nobody buys here over sticker - at least I didn't hear about it. The RS7 is somehow not that attractive to me? Prefer the RS6.

[@AdilKhan-rk4xq]

Great until it breaks

[@kristians2704]

true of all cars like this

[@ilopancharov]

The VAG group is starting to fall into the GM hole from the 80s...too many of the same thing in different badges
