I still don't see the point. Most AWD cars have a higher ground clearance anyway and if the roads are that bad you need an SUV which will have a sturdier chassis anyway. These Allroads are nothing more than pretenders when it come to being something suitable for offroad not to mention very ugly IMO. An Audi shrouded in black plastic and all jacked up off the ground is just ridiculous and so uncouth considering how elegant their cars are to begin with. People who live and/or have to drive in country conditions buy trucks, not he-man looking wagons which is which this Allroad concept has been a flop here in the U.S.
