Great write-up; appreciate the insight and candid feedback. Wife and I weren't won over by the Q8 and shared many of your same sentiments. Went with the MY19 Q7 because it did everything well.

Great comparison write up. The biggest issue I dislike about the Q8, is the size. Audi should have named it the Q6. I doubt people with families will choose the Q8 over the Q7, since most people looking for the Q7 is using it as a family SUV. This will drive the sales down for the Q8, and as OP says, the price of this car will eventually drop, or it will be discontinued in a few years.

The mention of "cost-cutting" raises some concerns about stuff just breaking or leaking or squeaking. Some people here have already reported those issues on their Q7s so I wonder just how much worse it can get for the Q8, which is about $4K more than the equivalent Q7. That's $85K+ for a car that could give more headaches than the Q7 has given some people.
