First: I'd venture to say I'm far from UnEduMaKated. Second, I never said the Fed was a villain. Third, define the term "reputable economist". Is that some academic with a 160 IQ? Those are a dime a dozen. To quote Warren Buffett "[C]an you name me one super-wealthy economist that’s ever made money out of securities? No.". Economists at the Fed were projecting that inflation, using their preferred measure, would recede to 2.1% by the end of this year. For a brief period it was nearly 4 times that and God knows when we will get back to the 2% target. 2024? 2025? I don't think the Fed is a villian, I just think they're not that good at their jobs. Their only responses are QE, QT, raising rates or some combination thereof. That's it. Keeping interest rates near zero for a decade is the best you can do? Yea. No. Personally, from a pure investment standpoint: bring on the recession. I hope it's long and painful for equities. Most folks aren't invested in the stock market anyways so this notion that it hurts the average Joe holds little weight.
Do you work for the Fed or something? You seem to be taking this kind of personally for a fairly innocuous comment on a Porsche forum. I know most of your names aren't subject to FOIA requests so feel free to air it it out!

Shandingo, you’re right. This is not the place to start discussing politics or monetary policies.
Let’s stick to cars.

No comparison between the Q8 prestige and a Macan. I just traded our 22’ Macan S in for another 911. And was looking at the Cayenne S for our daily until I took a loaded q8 for a ride. A lot of car for a less cash. My first Audi but but definitely not my last.
The Q8 won’t be dropping 30’s at Sebring though. The Macan did. Number one reason for selling was I had to get back into a 911. And back under 20’s 😉.

Starting to think about my next car. Had a 2019 Macan GTS, which I loved. Wanted to switch to a sedan, so currently have an Audi S5. Great car, but I miss the SUV room and versatility. I am now looking at the new GTS vs the Audi RSQ8. I realize that they are different price points, but wanted thoughts. (Of course, my friend is saying I should go electric and opt for a Taycan Crossturismo 4S). Wondering if anyone has experience and input. Best

I’ll add this after a rough Christmas weekend with the RS. The RSQ8 does not have a spare tire and there is NO option for one. When you get a flat and the supplied can of fix-a-flat doesn’t work, you will need to get towed. Macan has a spare tire!

Dies your RSQ8 have optional stereo (upgraded subwoofer)?
