Very happy the flares are there. Would have liked more interest in the front, i.e. better treatment
of the LED strip, say like the new A4/R8 where it curves or the band like the S6 down low, and maybe more of a flair to the lower gills like the S5 but looks good otherwise. Like the interior. Can't wait to see the sedan as the avant style does nothing for me personally.

Re: its the only active suspension system audi has for heavy cars.
Personally, I would have very, very strongly preferred the magnetic ride system (MRS) suspension, Audi dynamic steering (ADS) system and Adaptive drive system (ADS) of the B8 A4/S4/RS 4 and A5/S5/RS 5 as well as the C7 A6/AllRoad/S6/RS 6 and A7/S7/RS 7 and possibly (also hopefully and sincerely so I might add) in the D4 A8/A8L/S8 to DRC III (the third generation of hydraulic dynamic ride control) with the excellent basic Audi sport suspension in the new RS 6. Oh, well, you win some; you lose some, like the old saying goes.

RS6 not fit for US consumption
Sucks again

Now that could be only for the avant, there was a sedan being flogged on the ring, so who knows... RS6 sedan perhaps?

But even the C5 RS6's had the battery in the back
on the load floor.
At least the stateside one but then it was sedans as well. but it's kind of what the difference between the avant and the sedan for that....
