Seems we might not even get an Avant here.
I guess I'll just "have to live" with a saloon. :D

I know most Americans look at them as 'grocery getters', but I personally LOVE the avants.

Let the waiting begin...

Kurt,
Are you serious man? You would take an avant over a saloon. The station wagon over the sports car! OUCH! Audi should definitly bring the Saloon in first. It is more of a suited car for America. No mom wants to drive the RS4! She could go out and buy a regular A6 station wagon. Come on, get a Saloon with me! Don't get a Avant! Your choice.

It seems claiming a saloon is a sports car is a contradiction in terms.
And exactly why a saloon would be any better than an avant is beyond me.
They are both lardy, have the same runnnig gear, and both have a very similar weight bias.
Come on, get a Saloon with me! Don't get a Avant! Your choice.
Your choice :jump:

Superb.

Btw, Morning, whatever your real name is.

Haha. Name is Chase btw. And to tell you, the Saloon is so much better due to the fact that it is not a station wagon. HAHA!

Chase,

do you think there is any danger of you filling in your profile ? Pretty please ?? :wink:

Also, the introduction post I asked for would be most welcome.
Otherwise you will most likely find people no longer respond to your postings.

As a suggestion how about:
- real name
- roughly where you live (United states is a big place - east, west, or what ?)
- roughly how old (I get the feeling your not likely to be suffering a mid life crisis any time soon)
- what you currently drive, or have owned
- whether your connected to the motor trade and so have an interest

Its not much to ask.
Hell, at the rate your adding messages it should take you all of a couple of minutes.

You are exactly correct in your thinking, but that's why the Avant is much better. :wink:
If you come up against an Avant at the traffic light grand prix, you expect either an old man (no offence anyone :roll: ) or a Mum taking their kids to school, not a car that scares off almost anything on the road.

I love my S4 saloon.
I look of the new RS4 Saloon really has grown on me.

I think the balance of the Avant is slightly better though.
Have you driven an S4 Saloon AND Avant ?

Why I didn't get an Avant is just like Why I didn't get a manual.
Stupid reasons really. Not stupid, my wife was the reason.
She wanted to be able to drive it, hence Tiptronic.
She thought since we had a Toureg as well, why get the wagon.

Well, this time it's Manual, even if Tip/DSG was offered.
If the Avant was offered it would probably be Avant as well.

maybe They'll have an Avant in Barcelona when I drive the RS4 at Cataluyna. just maybe....

I'd love to smoke some 'ricer' in a Grocery Getter here in LA. That's funny....

Nice Kurt! I can see why that would be cool to do, but definitly get the Saloon this time and then you can tell me how much more you like having it. I just bought my friends 2002 S4 B5. Excellent car. Anyways, I hope you do well purchasing the RS4. Good Luck!
