looking at 2007 a4 (long)
I will be purchasing a new car by november of this year. I am leasing a bmw e90 325 sport. I like the interior space of the bmw, but the new look inside and out has not grown on me, liked I hoped it would. I perfer the german engineered cars. I also like the idea of a wagon. It seems not to change the driving dynamics, but gives you more utility. Especially in the a4. You are able to get a sport suspension and the avant is a very attractive auto. My problem with the a4, is the rear seating seems a little small. However, my car will not be the main family car and I have only 1 child. I will be turning 40 this year. Do you think, I will be to old for this car? This is another reason why I like the avant. The avant seems a little more mature. I also like the looks of the new c-class. But I am sure it will be much more expensive. I think by the time i will be purchasing a new car, the Audi a4 will be pushing some really good deals, because of the b8 coming in the spring of 08. I got a feeling I will be able to get a great deal. This will alow me to, load up the car with options. I really like the s-line package. Well, I Know I am rambling. So back to my question. Is 40 yrs old, to old for the a4 Avant?

Too Old?????
I will be 60 this Fall and I'm planning on many more A4's in my future. I can detail both of my cars with the best of them. I hand wash both of them even when the temp is in the low 20's.
Old....huh...........what is that all about??
As you get older you just buy hotter colors!

Kidding right? I'll be 41 in a couple weeks, just bought my A4 Avant Q/6M 2.0T S-Line. What are you, some kind of freak or something? 
Too old? Got rid of my '99 540ia Sport because I wanted to grind gears once again. So far, K&N/APR tuning with exhaust on the way. Can't rave enough about the fun factor to drive. btw, my 4 1/2 year old twins love it too!

It's unlikely that you'll get a deal due to old model phasing out any time soon.
Only the B8 coupe is debuting in spring of 08, sedan debut in fall 08, Avant debut in spring 09. And those are Euro debut dates. Expect a 6-12 months delay between that & US availability.

my take, sorta biased, and not meant to sound opinionated
i don't think your "too old" for the audi a4 avant at all. i don't really know what it is, but for some reason audis never really struck me as one of those cars that has like an age type. they are understated, sorta like a well made sweater or something that doesn't need to have the brand name in huge letters accross the chest to attract buyers...and people that "know" buy them. the avant for some reason, just has a coolness factor to it. as a younger guy, if i saw someone older than myself in one, i would think it was a good choice...the allroad sorta gives me the same vibe for some reason.
on the other hand, something about mercedes makes me feel a little differently. in my humble, biased and probably wrong opinion, i tend to think that (some) people buy mercedes for the status...and when i see the C class, i kinda feel like it misses the point. not to say most C class drivers don't buy it because they honestly want a small sedan, they probably do...but i feel like some just want a benz and its the one they can swing.
btw, i think the new a6 is a great car, def. more than the A4 but i like it, and maybe worth a look
