IN AMERICA. They were driving together on Highway 85 in California, one white and one black. I am absolutely certain that’s what I saw, but they don’t sell those here. Is it possible they’re going to start selling them in America? Am I reading too far into this?

I’ve been seeing a surprising amount of brand-new All-Roads around here in New England. I like them a bit more than the A6 wagon because of the flares. It’s a wagon uprising!

Wait- all of them are going to be broken after a year...

Allroads perhaps?

Hey now.

Modern Audis have been perfectly reliable in my experience.

Allroads, minus the stuff Allroads get, done by the owners that wanted an Avant

Visitors from Mexico, Canada or other foreign nation (temporaries)

Illegal aliens

I’m leaning towards Allroad, since those can pretty much pass for an Avant if you’re at a distance. If they’re illegal aliens, the owners are just asking for their property to be crushed. It’s unlikely that V.A.G. would bring them to the US, as they recently denied us the Golf R wagon, and wagons don’t sell here anyway.

I thought so at first, but there were no roof rails and I could really clearly see the \____/ shape in each taillight. I’m damn near certain it was an A6...

It’s true, it could be an Allroad, but as I said to Archduke there weren’t roof rails and the taillight shape was pretty clearly A6. If there weren’t 2 of them together piloted by men in suits, I’d be pretty certain I’d just seen it wrong.

Fender flares make everything better.

Also, about 6 months before the Buick Cascada was announced, I saw 3 Opel-badged ones testing in Yosemite. I guess I just really want this to be the same situation, where we’ll get the Avant in 6 months.

Maybe the next Allroad will get parts bin stuff from the A6 Avant in Europe, but that’s the absolute best we can hope for.

It’s at times like this that it’s incumbent on me to remind Americans that they in fact live in a country without many of the freedoms that others take for granted.
