I like it, I'm looking forward to seeing more upscale wagons and I hope this one does well.
I don't get the "fail" posts...

Belzebutt - This Acura wagon is an incredible epic fail.

I don't get all the ragging on Acura for introducing this wagon.
Avant fans bitch and moan about how nobody in the U.S. wants wagons, and how that causes Audi to reduce the number of configurations they send over here. I would think those folks should welcome any new addition to the wagon ranks that might improve it's overall appeal to the car-buying public.
If Acura's wagon fails, it just reinforces Audi's belief that there is a weak case for the Avant in the U.S. If Acura's wagon succeeds, it may improve the visibility and popularity of wagons amongst the car-buying public and help convince Audi to expand Avant offerings.

Have you see it new Accord?
I maybe wrong, but if I remember statistic correct - E91 wagon sold around 3000 a year in US, 5 series even less. If you been in Europe - that is reverse picture. More wagons and 60% of all cars is diesel.
BMW just release 5 GT ( I'll see that car tomorrow) and it's looks like they will follow this direction with 3. So, very soon - bye-bye E91 - Hello 3 Grand Turismo.

until I see the 6 speed manual offered in the A4 avant, I don't consider it anything special. On that note, until BMW offers the 335xi in their wagon, I wouldn't consider either.

People buy Hondas and Acuras. Even if the styling of those cars don't appeal to most Audi buyers, there is a market for them. I think that anything that can potentially increase the market penetration of wagons and steer folks away from an automatic inclination for SUVs is good for the future prospects of the Avant.
