First time I've ever heard of this loop-hole for canadians. Do you have more info, URL?
Oddly enough we can get it in Canada. Not that we can traipse down to our local Audi dealer and order one. But apparently Canada has some sort of odd import regulation that if the car is deemed to be sold in a small consortium of European nations (Norway being one of them), then we can bring the car to Canada without having to go the route of crash testing etc. So if Audi can sell this in Norway then I only need fly there, buy one, and arrange to bring it home. Nevermind warranty and parts and the like. Still...never been to Norway.

Yes, indeed. The A6 allroad would get my money, but the A4 allroad doesn't have a chance. I've been waiting and hoping a new allroad would arrive here -- my 2001 has 145,000 mi and is finally slowing falling apart -- but the A4 allroad is pointless.
Audi (if you're listening), you really need to reconsider bringing the A6 allroad to the US, even if it is on a special order basis only.

Well the A4 has grown to a size of basically what the c5 allroad was. That said, the lack of the extra room the A6 based new Ar with the diesel and other options beside the 2.0t were what really piqued my interest. I also like my AR's air suspension. the a4AR does not have this.

Actually I do and that regulation was changed about 10 years ago. Canada no longer has any mutual pact with any other country for the importation of cars. So my apologies for posting that without checking to see if it had changed. Used it once for importing a BMW e21 323i but that was back in the '80s
