It looks great. Much better than the sedan if you ask me.

It's more like a shooting-brake than an avant version. Good job Audi.
Now we'are waiting for the RS version...

Re: 2009 Audi A4 Avant Debuts in Geneva

Much better than the sedan. Looks more sporty, dynamic.

But this is the only Avant I don't really like, the A6 is much better designed.

The rear overhang is too short/wheelbase too long, like the sedan, and I don't like how the waist line seems to decrease at the rear. It does not harmonize with the raising line of the bottom of the car.

The roof line is not clear enough either, and the windows are much bigger at the front than at the rear...

So you have the windowline slightly raising, the waistline slightly decreasing, and the "bottom" line frankly raising...

Finally, the rear looks a bit heavy, and quite sad, I really don't like this new Audi rear...

The front, like the sedan, is really good-looking though.

I much prefer the previous A4, inside and outside.

I expected more from Audi, they usually have the best looking stationwagons. The A6 is easily the better looking in its class, but this A4 isn't for me. Good-looking car, but not class-leading.

Re: 2009 Audi A4 Avant Debuts in Geneva

Audi hands down makes the best station wagons in the world... and I absolutely love station wagons.
This car looks 10 times better than the sedan. how rare is that? This might be my favorite Audi. I cannot wait till the RS4 comes out

Re: 2009 Audi A4 Avant Debuts in Geneva

Yeah, you're right, the new one is finally much better than the old one.
Still think the A6 looks better, some parts of the A4 still bugs me a bit. Mainly the waist line that looks slightly decreasing.

Very good-looking station-wagon.
