Default the only reason the RS^ came over is EU had a bunch of spare sedans, they were not selling

that is why we didn't get any of the avants, they are the big sellers in the EU, so the answer is a 98% no way the avant will come over, simply because the EU will want all of them.

Default ok thats a lame answer

the reason we don't get many avants here is because of less demand!

to say that there are "spare" sedans is BS too. to make a car for the US it needs different seats, steering wheel, bumpers, possibily emission equipment, etc etc etc. audi can make all the sedan and avant chassis they want, the question is: which will the US get, and how many will they make

Default Maybe lame but is the only reason AOA got them... EU is not going to give up cars they are selling

and we are not even at the watering down side of things. This is how, when AOA got the nod to receive the RS6. Guarantee that the Avant would of been well received if it was available and I think AOA and the dealers new it, the RS6 came over against competition that kicked it's ***, there was almost no competition for the RS6 Avant and the S6 sold damn well

Default You're very right. There is a 4 to 1 ratio of sedans to avants ordered by Audi owners.

the RS6 cam in sedan form the FIRST year it was produced. Not because there was a left over.

Default sure they will, no turbos, good seats/other parts, so they can sell parts . . . "Give a man a fish,

feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you can sell him accessories."
