06 Audi A4 Avant is my Wife's car
07 Audi S6 is my project car (the v10 s6 project). It is getting all kinds of work done, including custom long tube headers

That S6 is sweet. I had a quick look at your link, and the headers are cool. Must be piles of work. How're the running costs on that thing? I wish they brought more 'fast' Avants here though, I would love a B7 RS4 Avant, they generally look much better than the sedans.
My other cars are in my sig.
Noting the other poster about how boring his B8 A4 was to drive - I feel the same about my old B6! But, it serves its purpose as a winter driver for me, and can't complain much about that.

I can't really say about running costs, as the car has been in the shop since I purchased it last summer. The plan was always to tear it all apart, and develop performance parts for the car. So far, the aftermarket stuff with labor has exceeded the cost of the car. But to a certain extent, that is what I expected.
Aside from the performance stuff, we are replacing all the parts prone to failure along the way. So, hopefully the running costs will be relatively low, after the project is complete.
I absolutely love Avants, and totally agree with you about them bringing more to North America (especially the incredible RS4 Avant!). They look better than the sedans and are just so amazingly functional. It hurt to give up my C5 S6.
But, if anything, Audi is cutting back on the Avants in NA. We are more likely to see more A7s/Panameras, and maybe the A5 sportback, then real Avants, I think.
