I badly disagree!

I doubt European magazines don't care enough about the avant to not test it even if it is available. My best guess is it just not ready yet and Audi put it out at the show cause it didn't have anything else for the show. (Where did it debut? Frankfrut?)

And I actually like the Avant more. Audi always did wagons better imo, it balances the otherwise front heavy design Audi sedans suffer from..

I'm definitely a wagon man myself. I've always thought most wagons look better than their sedan counterparts.

This is correct. I understand that the first press cars will be available at the beginning of February.

Avants definitely outsell saloons here in Europe. In fact many purists argue that RS models should only ever have been produced in Avant form, as was the case with the RS2 and B5 RS4.
