I think the RS6 is priced extremely fairly for what it is. Same with the RSQ8, which is essentially an un-neutered (and better looking, IMO) Lamborghini Urus at 60% off.
To be fair, I agree with you that the Porsche brand carries more cachet than Audi (and BMW and Mercedes). Thinking out loud here - strangely, I can't think of another manufacturer that I'd lump in with Porsche; the other Germans aren't quite there, but then Porsche isn't quite at the level of Aston, Ferrari, Bentley, Lamborghini, etc.

I personally think that's mostly just perception. Just because its more expensive, doesn't always mean it's better. More expensive may carry cachet for some, not me. I'd choose a myriad of current Porsche offerings before anything Italian (or British) for that matter. In reality, current Lamborghini is a German brand that builds its vehicles in Italy.
