this could be my next car...e39 m5 owner currently...
while i really love the s5 in many ways, the lack of a 'real' sunroof is a real turnoff. plus we have a jetta with the great 2.0t/dsg drivetrain and think the dsg is the answer to my (well my wife's) prayers to get away from a stick while maintaining performance characteristics of a stick. plus i'm happy to see audi move towards more fuel efficient performance cars. imo you will see a lot more of this in the coming years.
so i can see myself getting one of these in about 2 years, after the first year models are out and when there are good used ones around...
but i agree that it could use some more aggressive wheels as standard equipment!!

Several magazine articles and statements by AoA
Car and Driver, among others, has reported the S4 Avant won't come to the US. I've spoken to AoA directly a few months ago, and was told unequivocally they have no plans to import the new S4 Avant to the US.
So I went out and bought a 2008 S4Avant while I still could!

S4 Avant? You did good then.

Agreed. But that doesn't keep me [us?] from bugging them about it.
Just emailed them again, saying I want the S4 Avant (6MT ideally) over here, since I want to say I've owned three in a row. :-)

I spoke to AoA a few minutes ago...
They called in response to an e-mail I sent them, asking (again!) about the S4 Avant. Their response was to try to sell me on the Q5.
I said, very emphatically, thanks but no thanks. Call it what you will, it's still an SUV (with only a 3.2) and I don't want any part of it.
I just hope BMW, or Mercedes, or somebody will come up with a high-performance AWD wagon in the next two years because by then I'll probably be ready for a new car.
