They are cool, but not for me. There is a youtube guy called Joe Knows Best and it's really funny, he seems to have almost identical taste in cars as me. He recently got a plaid and hated it and sold it in like 1 month. We both bought RS6 Avants last year and did not like them. I think he gave it a better chance than me and even did some mods. I'm guessing he has not gotten a CS yet because of his experience with the RS6 Avant. I was worried i wouldnt like it based on the V8TT + ZF trans being the same as the RS6A, but completely different feeling car.

Just in case it matters.

I test drove a 992 Turbo S about 8 months ago. Did not like it. It felt slow for regular driving as funny as that sounds. No character. I think if it had an aftermarket exaust i would have liked it better. I had just sold my 991.2 GT3 RS so i suppose i prefer the track feel even in my daily. I LOVED my GT3 RS. I'm not sad i sold it though.

I also drove the Taycan Turbo S on both sideroads and freeway. I've gotta admit, it was impressive. Really great feeling car all around.

That is strange the Turbo S felt slow to you. Was that a 992 Turbo S? Maybe because it is more refined than the GT3 RS. I am guessing the turbo S is faster than the GT3 RS on the street. Why were you not sad to let the GT3 go?

I do not have any twisty roads in my area where I live. So it is difficult for me to grasp claims of difference in driving between the M5 variants. My daily driver has hydraulic steering and I feel no difference or do not notice any difference when I drive the M5.

I know you said you like a track focused car but you may want to look at the M5C which is close to the CS in real performance, comes with ventilated front seats and is a 5-seater.

If I was speculating, I'd say none of these electric cars will hold value right now. The tech is moving too fast, and the Taycan is more of a Panamera (sedan) than a GT2RS or something.
