Was traveling with friends to Europe via Munich a couple years ago & took a train out to Audi Forum Ingolstadt! Saw a train load of Q5's leaving the station that day along with fun visit to the forum, museum, etc. Saw an S6 Avant in the parking lot. Ran into Audi engineers, working of driverless car tech stuff, told them I was a D3 S8 owner from the US (at the time). Very nice engineers, asked a few questions, etc.

Yes, that was in front of the Ingolstadt delivery forum. That day they had some old circa 1971 C1 100LS's out there from proud owner/workers. In the museum now too. From having owned one, fun but lemons. Even the museum car has the same cracked dash mine and every other one did. In 1985 they hid them in the museum. Now even my 1985 Audi 5000/100 I did with first generation of Euro delivery is there in museum area. Even really old Audi/precedessors like Super 90, NSU rotary, etc.

When I was there, the place to go was the garage underneath--lots of very high end Audis--RS's, R8's, one off custom paint and interiors, occasional Lambo, etc. They had the C7 RS6 wagon on display in the showroom in the nearby building when I was there.
