Default They're probably the lowest sold of all the A4 quattros in the US.

Top A4 quattro sales would have to be the 2.0T Manual and Tip, then the 3.2 Tip and finally the 3.2 Manual. They are just not that popular in the US.

The venerable AudiWorld enthusiast will chose the 2.0T manual with a chip over the 3.2.

Gas mileage is no longer an advantage to manuals since the 3.2 manual gets 2mpg <b>worse</b> in the city than the Tip.

Default Very few U.S dealers would (or do) carry them.

The overwhelming majority of American 3.2 buyers prefer an automatic transmission.

I'm sure there are those that would consider a 6spm, but can't find one on the lot and are not willing to wait to order one.

Granted, the majority of folks here on AW probably would opt for the 6spm, but only a very small fraction of current (and more appropriately, prospective) buyers are AW readers.

Same for the 2.0T, most have tips. 6 speed Avants are the rarest of the lot

Default True, but you'll find 50 6spm 2.0T sedans for every 6spm 3.2 you stumble across.....

IF you can even manage to stumble across one.

Default Last time I was at the dealer for service they had a 3.2 s-line Avant 6MT on the lot...

I stared so hard at it that, apparently, I missed the unicorn that every one else saw.
