The RS6 would definitely be an option, but importing a grey-market car is not.

Rep Power: 49 Paul, how about a 2010/2011 Range Rover Sport Supercharged ? It only cost $2,000 more than my 2008 but it got 510hp instead of 390hp, the interior is way better and more luxury to me, and it cost $40,000 less than a Cayenne Turbo (500hp) ! I had owned a Cayenne S before, but I like the Range Rover Sport better ! I have about 33,000 miles on my 2008 Range Rover Sport Supercharged now and no problem with the car at all ! I test drove a 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged a while ago and it is not slow at all ! MSRP is about $74,000 !!!

Rep Power: 380 Weight is an issue but 510 hp and Brembo brakes makes it easy.

I've never had any problems with my RRS Supercharged.
A 2011 RRS with the Sport Package is the **** (unless you really need 500+ HP in a truck).
LR of Seattle has one:

UPDATE:
So, the decision has been made.
Got the Audi Q7 S-Line (with the 333hp motor from the S4).
I loved the Range Rover Sport SC, and of course the Cayenne Turbo. However, I am being put through the wringer in a divorce right now and I cannot justify spending too much dough. I'm lucky to be able to keep a Ferrari in my garage to be honest. So, I traded in the S4 for it. When funds allow, it would be nice at some point to add something else (S7 when available?). I am really pleased with the Q7 so far--it's very nice to drive, has seven seats, and a huge trunk. I liked the TDI version, but it is more expensive, difficult to find in stock anywhere (as it was, I had to drive down to Beaverton to get the S-line), and the throttle response reintroduces you to 1974 Porsche 911 Turbo-style LAAAAAG. More importantly, the S-line is only 10-15% off of the official MPG figures of the diesel anyway.
