definitely need room to store a bicycle in back without taking the wheels off.
No more than $120,000
The sport tourismos I've seen don't seem to compare to wagons for rear storage capacity??

I had to drive from the west coast to the east coast in my Panamera Sport Turismo and was able to load up three big 5.11 bags (2x Cams 3.0 and a slightly smaller bag). With the seats down, I was able to fit the bigger bags in lengthwise and the smaller one widthwise. I could probably load my road bike into the car as I’ve been able to load my four 21” wheel set into it to transport them. Let me know if I can help with pictures.

I just moved from an S8 to a Panamera 4S. My S8 was incredible but Audi's have really gone down hill lately. It was my 4th Audi in a decade and an absolute nightmare. Seems their quality control really went down post COVID. Constant trips to the dealer for warranty work. Too many to list. I decided I wanted to actually drive my car rather than loaners so I traded it in for the Panama 4S and haven't looked back. Porsche is just another level.

I’ve driven both and while the RS6 may have a slight advantage in straight line acceleration the handling and driving feel was too much of a gap not to get the Porsche. I just traded my 18 turbo ST with one of the best builds I have ever seen. Almost $200k in chalk with a full Akra exhaust. Owned for 3 years which is 2 years longer than most cars. It’s cpo at my dealer if interested you could probably get a good deal. PM if of any interest.

The RS6 has the Panamera GTS tune. So a current Turbo is faster, but comparing a 2018 Turbo with the older tune to the current RS6 yes the RS6 would be a tad quicker. Most of the side by side reviews of Panamera vs RS6 say the RS6 wins for looks/sportiness but the Panamera wins for being much nicer to drive and live with.

Good luck with the search. Pics when it arrives!

I am certain my Trek would fit on the back without taking the wheels off, as long as rear seats are folded forward

Wheels on, 1 road bike, with drop bars = no problem, with both back seat backs folded down. When we have 2 to transport, the front wheels and pedals come off of both bikes. We use chain covers to cut down on the possibility of grease getting onto anything.

...and to add to @AceMktg 's detail, I loaded two road bikes into my 2018 ST. My bike is a 60 cm frame, wife's bike is 50 cm frame. We did a heavy, old blanket as a buffer between them--worked great.

is that the one with the tablets behind the front seats? I'm actually in touch with an advisor trying to work out a deal on it. Would love to ask you some questions if it was actually yours.

I would PM you but I don't have enough posts.

Hey Craig! I've never owned an RS6, but I did have an RS7 which is pretty darned close. I went from a '13 Panamera GTS to the '16 RS7, and then to an '18 Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo. I have to pull the front wheel from my bike to fit in the Sport Turismo, but I ride a 60 cm and IIRC, you ride a significantly smaller frame than that. I think the RS and Turbo S are pretty similar in bhp, BUT the Panamera absolutely handles better. I noticed a significant difference when I went from the GTS to the RS, and then back to the Turbo. When I looked at the RS the dealers were asking $50K over list - and I could get a Panamera Turbo for virtually the same price. To me that was a no brainer.

And speaking of bikes I still have two of my Brian Baylis bikes - do you still have yours?

Still shopping or did the wagon arrive?
