Not a fan. Dislike the waterfall grill (Buick?). I did think they did a pretty good job with the plastic cladding though (could have been a lot worse, in an Outback sport way). Glad my Avant is on it's way. Interesting that the press release mentions the S-tronic as the standard gearbox. Wonder if they're getting rid of the 8-speed?

It looks like an Avant that has been Subarized !

Just noticed the ride height too. Hopefully the air suspension makes it across the ocean. Missed my 02 allroad. If the air suspension comes, and if it's a TDI, boy. I'm going to get me one.

I'd totally switch out the grill with the one for the refresh sedan, paint the lower body panels body colour and dump it on the ground!

I would prefer this allroad to the Q5! I wonder what the price difference will be.

not as terrible as I would have expected.
I suppose we should expect the base motor and tiptronic?
gimme the 272 horse 3.0T motor and for f's sake at least throw in the S-tronic if the beancounters won't let go of the clutch pedal, and then we'll talk.

make sure you specify which TDI, the 2.0 TDI is a pig even in the much lighter (and bigger cargo space'd!) FWD Jetta TDI wagon. Put that motor in a much heavier AWD A4 and it'll be pathetic for American roads. I don't know about you, but I'm not paying upwards of $50k for a car that gets passed by a Prius.

The 3.0L TDI, however, would be super sweet
