Default q8 or new e-tron?

Have reserved Q8 few months back, but looking at new etron and its availability later this year makes me wonder if I should go with etron instead. .
car size, shape look pretty similar, biggest diference is gasoline vs electric and most probably 20-30% more expensive for electric one.
anyone is facing same dilemma?

(Btw... Where's the e-tron forum page?)

For me its not between a Q8 or etron - The Q7 is all the "Q" I'd want to spend for. If I am spending $100k, I'm buying a sports car (ah wait, I just did).

But, for me the question is whether the e-tron:
1) replaces the Q7 (likely not, I need long distance family hauling and snow trip / winter reliability)... or
2) replaces the A4 Avant (more likely, but sad that I will have become a two SUV family.)

I assume Q8 is bit bigger than etron SUV. Etron from my understanding would be similar size to Q6, if one existed, but your comparison to A4 Avant is probably more precise.
As for two SUVs in the family, I am getting rid of GLE and need replacement, so I am in that boat already. And yes, wife's GLE handles like a boat compared to Q7.
