BTW, guys I actually saw something even more elusive recently...the only one I've ever heard of and here in the states...teaser pics:

I'll be trying to get some pics side-by-side with my car in the next few weeks
What a beauty! The stretched view from the front makes it look very sporty. That's probably an S6 Avant. I want that grille on my A6.

No it's actually an RS6 avant...hence why it's so darn rare. Apparently it cost a bundle and I can believe it.

Lucky you! With such a unique car you are going to turn heads. The Avant doesn't look very appealing in pictures but I've seen a few in person in Frankfurt and I have to say it is a very beautiful estate vehicle.

You may be right. The headlight, the side air intakes design with a DRL and the body make me think otherwise though. See the RS6 in the video posted above? The RS6 headlight has a transparent white "eyelash" on top, doesn't have a DRL in the bumper, the side air intakes are different and it looks wider.

No wonder it is rare. Audi don't offer it in the U.S. and most Americans don't like estate vehicles.

thanks kelisko - I travel globally for my job and always snap photos of the audi's we can't have in the US - I really wanted the A6 allroad with Diesel - EU version - but alas not possible - so the A6 Avant was the closest vehicle to those beautiful wagons zooming down the autobahn!!!!

I hate you! lol

Was late finding this one, and less than 20 miles away, too. Enjoy her!
