On the flipside, Luw and Tyc, if you're a big fan of the high performance wagon concept then the RS6 Avant is the uber-wagon to end them all.

Sure, the RS6 is a big, heavy machine and it's hardly going to be scalpel sharp on tight corners but it remains faithful to the monster wagon concept perfected by its predecessor. It's a very special and quite unique piece of machinery that blends oodles of space and family-oriented practicality with ludicrous performance that'd be more than most sane drivers could ever ask for. Oh, and not forgetting its towering all-weather ability too...

As I said, it's a special car and being so special has to come at a price.
