Hi All:
Haven't been here in a while. So busy.

I getting ready to place a 2019 order to replace my 14' V8SC Dynamic. We love it so much, we're getting another one. This will be a 1st car brand (same model) repeat purchase for me, just love the design so much. And with the 2018 Velar tech (I was itching for a Velar for a bit), I'm sold.

It's not going to be my daily driver, the Sport's not gotten much driving lately (EV car for commute). So......

Option 1:
SVR - go nuts or go home, right? I love it, but haven't driven one, so not sure how the ride is.

Option 2:
ATB - spec it with Velocity color and gives me that SVR look. But can keep it close to $100k as oppose to $120k for SVR

Option 3:
TDV6 HSE - about $90k with all the options I want.

I know, vast difference in the 3.
Here's my thinking process. Section 179 for my Consulting business, SVR is great and checks everything, but I wont' be driving it as often, and it'll be garaged (waste of money?).

Going with option 2 - not as wasteful (all relative, I know) with my money, and still get the nice touches I'm accustomed to from '14.

Option 3 - just gets me there and have a replacement for my '14. No frills, but enough Torque to be fun once in a while, and still have the looks and the tech (I like the molded SVR/ATB steering wheel much better than the standard one in the HSE).

Thoughts fellow owners?

Thanks.

Ordering the ATB with Velocity paint. Dealer says putting in order @ end of the month.
I'm hoping the Velocity don't delay it, I need it by end of year.

Other than the hood, quad exhaust and those awesome seats, what am I missing with the SVR? Going to go with VelocityAP tune when I get the ATB.

Thanks for all the input.

Just to add...

Recent release of new models give some extra choices, but I think I'm sticking with the RRS.

'19 Q8 - but not available this year.
'19 X5M - not sure when it's available, kinda like the look.
'19 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid - had a '11 Cayenne S, so not too thrilled, but like the tech.
'19 Lincoln Navigator (intrigued by the luxury interior), but size is too big.
