Date: July 16th, 2026 6:05 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. No. You might be thinking Audi since a lot of them are the exact same platform. The Q7 and Cayenne are on the same platform, the Macan and Q5 are on the same platform, their EVs are on the same platform and basically the same car with minor differences. But they're also super expensive in the US for the same reason (factories are in Germany).
Basically, if you're American and want a German car then BMW is the obvious answer. |

Date: July 16th, 2026 6:12 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. Yes actually. I always used the depreciation to my advantage too. They also have a good CPO program so you can still get some warranty and they let you buy more years of coverage. Porsche does this too but with high resale values it isn't such a good value.
