I'm going to be curious as to how this thing sells. It would be more interesting with a three liter TDI but that would knock the price north.

Well since the car lacks the airbag suspension, its got to offer something else, and a tdi option would be a great place to start. Sometimes I wonder why...and wouldn't you know it, nobody can tell me

I don't think the lack of an airbag suspension will make any difference to most consumers (i.e., people who don't post on allroad forums).

I think this car will appeal to the same big group of folks who might shop for a Subaru Outback but have enough money to afford something nicer. It'll make a great transport vehicle for outdoor sports types who would rather hike, bike, run, and ski trails than drive a car on them.

Yeah, as the car comes with good roof rails. I used my last Avant for kayak transport and it was great with the exception of a few gnarly roads that I had to travel to launch my water toy. That was the only downer with respect to that car's sports suspension. Didn't have enough clearance and the underside of the car picked up some road rash.

Now I use a Mazda 3 for that but I miss my Avant

I don't like painted Allroads... This one makes you wonder, Why is that station wagon raised?

A proper Allroad, on the other thand

See, and I prefer the body-color cladding.

It's an option, though...I believe the darker cladding is standard on the new Allroad (like on the old one).

I also prefer the body-colored cladding. It looks more finished. The darker cladding looks like a bolt-on afterthought to me.

Default Looks good, but...

I think it looks great. Though I would also like to see a TDI version, and one that is AWD not just FWD like the A3. There doesn't seem to be any full size wagons out there; anybody have any recommendations for a wagon in similar size to the allroad. I love my 02 AR but it's getting a bit dated and I'd like something new but can't find anything similar...
