I'll probably wait until fall to order or later due to every one of these SUVs selling like quarter taps on spring break

Honestly, I don't know much about it. It seems like it is the SUV version of a C63 so it has the great TT V8 and awesome interior. The infotainment layout/usage is worse than iDrive but much more configurable. Almost too much so, but once you get it down it's decent enough usage wise IMO. I love our Burmester much more than any HK system FWIW. Not a bad way to go if you are looking for that type of thing. The performance numbers look damn good. On that note, one thing I noticed is that the F80 M3/4 seemed to always get better 0-60 and 1/4 miles times must be due to traction off the line. Because our C63S feels much more muscular from a roll and everywhere else than my previous M3/4s (sound isn't even a contest). I can't overstate how great this engine is. The MCT isn't as good as BMWs DCT but better/on par the ZF8s IMO.
