avant IS different from sedan
Check this out from www.edmunds.com:<p>Sedan:<br>3.7 axle ratio; stainless steel exhaust; front independent suspension with anti-roll bar, front coil springs, rear<br>non-independent torsion suspension with anti-roll bar, rear coil springs; <p>Avant:<br>Full-time 4 wheel drive, 3.89 axle ratio; rear independent double wishbone<br>suspension with anti-roll bar, rear coil springs; 15.9 gal capacity fuel tank; roof rack; integrated roof antenna; fixed 1/4 vent windows; fixed interval rear wiper; center pass-thru armrest<br>with skibag and cargo cover. <p>Ok, so what does this mean? The Avant has a different rear axle ratio. It definitely has a different rear suspension (hence my question about the aftermarket stuff available for the avant).<br>Slightly smaller gas tank, rear wiper. roof rack are all avant specific.<br>Integrated antenna - does that mean the sedan's is not integrated? Odd.<p>None of this means a whole lot right now, but in 4 years when people start to look for shock and spring upgrades on the avants, I bet they will be harder to find than on the sedans.<br>On the other hand, I predict the avant will hold its value a lot better than the sedan.<p>| Dan |<br><ul><li><a href="http://www.audifans.com">audifans.com</a></li></ul>
