Put my dealer deposit down prior to Frankfurt but now agonising over a high spec 2.0d R-Sport (and by that I mean a whopping £10k of options!) and a less well spec'd 3.0d diesel S (which in the UK at least comes within £5k of those options included).
Coming from fully loaded Evoque has made me spoilt and unwilling to sacrifice extras I've become used (ok self-park and TV I can live without)
Here's where I am right now 2.0d R-Sport mega-spec'd

3.0 diesel S with less shiny bits but huge tourque

Jury's out on this one.
Opinions welcome. I only do 8k miles p.a. So I could consider the V6 petrol but low 20's mpg I would struggle with and then depreciation could be an issue. That said, what's the future of diesel particularly big ones - a tax target?
