Avant lovers: how 'bout an RS6 avant?
No clue if its coming to the US. There's also a (lame) video on the 3rd or 4th page.<ul><li><a href="http://magazine.windingroad.com/windingroad/200804/?folio=149">http://magazine.windingroad.com/windingroad/200804/?folio=149</a</li></ul>

I will bet money it will not come here.
Audi so much as said that we will be getting very few Avants in the USA. They confirmed this when they announced the C6 allroad, and it was posted here on AW.
Then again, given our local dealer setup, I won't be buying new Audis or Porsches ever. Local monopoly FTL.

Agreed
List of cars on which they have pissed me off:
S3 (last two iterations)
C5 RS6 Avant
C5 Avant (2.7T or 4.2)
C6 allroad
B7 RS4 Avant
C6 RS6 Avant
Q7 - only 6 years late to the game, and that's the reason we get so few avants now.
100K + R8 with 'only' the V8... FFS, is the V10 gonna be 200K? Hell they sell the S6 with the v10 even.
They do have some good cars here... but they have missed the mark. Instead of saying Americans don't like wagons, why not use it as a marketing tool and show how they are every bit as capable if not moreso than SUV's, and safer too. Instead, they build the Q7.
Ugh. And now we have even less options with MT6 than before.

"... there will likely be a "plus" version built in the final year of production that should up the
horsepower to near 620. Which is just nuts."
