If I were in the OP's shoes, I would split that 1 expensive AWD car into 2 cars, and get a toy and a diesel small SUV OP's picks are like all season tires. OK at everything, but not great, and very costly |

M550i MSRP is already announced at $72,100, so you can add ~$7,000 in options and still keep it under $80K. And it comes with A LOT of stuff standard. not a fan of the Macan, if I ever buy a Porsche its going to be a Cayman or Carrera 4S (but has to be when kids are older...) Audi S3/RS3 that a few suggested is too small with my kids in the back, my seat position already is at my kids knees/feet with booster in the M3. |

I would stick with the M550i. After VAG showing their true colors, there is no way in the hell I would purchase a car from them and expect it to hold its value due to their actions or future actions. If you are going to lease so they are on the hook for the future value of the car, can get a good deal and protect your own money from them, then.....heck, I would still go the route of the M550i with the Sportback being a 2nd option.

the Macans aren't crazy fast but I forget their numbers ... you get a sporty looking/feeling car supposedly on a good chassis that is also fairly nice to be in. You definitely pay a lot for the true heavy hitters from porsche.... a FBO e90 would be fast but would feel 100yrs old in comparison, and be smaller. e90 n54s do have a place in my heart though as that was what got me hooked on BMWs. test drives and a subjective, honest assessment is usually what it takes to make the final call. the main issue we all run into is that there really isn't usually a right or wrong answer.

any of these cars would be great. I'd want to test drive the new 550i and S6 back to back, maybe X5 50i and GLE equivalent.
