Default S6 or RS6 Avant to USA - Petition

Hello,

Currently Audi does not import any high performance Avant (wagon) models. I am working in conjunction with Audi Club NA to change that!!!! We need to let Audi know we want the Avant in the USA! In order to identify that interest, a petition has been created. Signing the petition simply shows your desire to purchase an RS6 or S6 Avant model, it is NOT a binding contract.

The petition is located here: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/usa-audi

I'm fairly certain the only reason the RS6 Avant in not exported to us here, is that there simply is not the market for it here. For what reason wagons don't sell here in the USA anymore. I'm personally not a huge fan on the wagon body style, but do with rather that Audi made a RS6 sedan version, and that would have a least a small market here.

How can one sign up for a $1000 deposit when there is no indication of vehicle cost or date of availability? I would like one as it would allow me to bring my dogs. I hate my wife's Honda Pilot.

For a RS6 Avant, you'd be looking well north of $100K...not even remotely in the same price range as a Honda Pilot

Correct subterFUSE...Audi does not see a large enough market for the wagon in the USA. This is why we are attempting the petition. If we can show Audi that there is a large enough market, maybe they will change their mind.

The petition is not an order form or a deposit form. It is simply putting your name down as an indication that you would be interested in purchasing a RS6 Avant. Should Audi import them, there would be an order form of which there would be a deposit.

I think the only thing that will "Show Audi that there is a large enough market" is actual hard data on actual sales results.
