Exactly! I drove an A6 Avant for a few years until someone rear-ended me and it was totaled. Mazda CX-9 from there, then on to the Q.

European RS4 and RS6 wagons are not a Mom cars trust me...

I agree, but American culture has deemed wagons family vehicles. Movies like National Lampoon's Vacation haven't helped that stereotype either unfortunately. Americans need to see movies like Layer Cake that has a bada$$ owning a wagon, which may help change their perception.

Frankly, I don't think even Q5s (CUVs) are only for "Moms and Dads", but everyone has their own opinion.

We all need more room for hauling bodies and cocaine, and an A6 Avant would do nicely for that.

My BMW has a little pictorial in the trunk that illustrates how to fit multiple golf bags in there. I remember someone on the BMW forum came up with a similar diagram... for bodies.
