Truly an AWESOME find!!! Thanks for the link/read. I too, agree it's too much money but will try to find a used one down the road. Too bad a manual option didn't make the list, hopefully it will in the latter part of the decade.

Hopefully the A6 version with adjustable suspension height will cross the pond too.

Audi could barely move the A6 Avant. Chances of the A6 allroad over here are virtually nil. I would like to see Audi put some serious skin in the game and send over an A4 allroad with the 3.0 SC engine or perhaps the 3 liter TDI (and, yeah, the price would move way north). As it stands, the current offering is not likely to generate much in sales activity which makes me wonder if there will be any kind of Avant in NA in a year or two. Hope there is because I've had two of them and really did like the second one a bunch.

I'll be looking at the upcoming BMW three series wagon next year... unless Audi ups their game.

We have a 'new' A6 Allroad also(in Europe), with a Biturbo V6 TDI with 313BHP.

Reality for people like me... even if they did bring over a better version of the new A4 allroad, it would never have the room we need to accommodate our lifestyle and our big doggies. As far as I'm concerned, the allroad legend died with the C5, now we just need to keep ours running forever.

Bottom line...

The new A4 allroad seems incredibly over priced compared to the original A4, where they both share pretty much everything.
I wouldn't buy an A6 because everything seems wickedly expensive any more.
And regardless of their line, their MMI Interface is basically $4000 option. WHY?!
Sorry, not impressed Audi.
I mean, I'm not a going to be buying a car soon, but you better believe it won't be a new Audi.
"OH look, I spent $5,500 dollars on a **** and a screen. This totally seemed like a steal!"
Oh, and lastly, bring back the freakin' manual option.
Acura is doing it in their sedan line up.
A4 has it, and that's it.
Nothing else has it.
And no A4 Avants because now you have an allroad... WUT.
Someone figure this out for me, please.
