Default Why are they bringing the RS4 Cab, but not the RS4 Avant?

I would expect the Avant to sell better than the Cab, but maybe I'm off-base on that...

If the Avant were to come here, I would be first on the list. Bummer.

Low demand for Cabrio in Europe, high demand for Avant in Europe, we get the excess production here?

Default Big brother "looking out for you"

Just like they did when for years they mandated "sealed beam" headlights when every other country in the world recognized and allowed (even encouraged) the superior HID (Xenon) lighting.
