Yeah, weird, I tried finding a E63 wagon but so rare that they are much more expensive then the sedan. I found that if you lower a Macan enough, its just like a big VW Golf and almost like a wagon, so we did that too...

Audi's decision not to sell the RS6 Avant here is simply because the market is so small for a hot wagon.

To me, they are much cooler than SUV's which outsell wagons by a huge margin. To me, wagons drive like cars and SUV's drive like trucks. I'd much rather drive a car.

Hopefully, Porsche will sell the new wagon version of the Panamera here (though I find the Pana prices unreasonably high)...

take the Macan Turbo for a short drive
this is an SUV that drive like a car
and the most wired thing , this SUV like to over-steer !!

I would have waited for a bit more AMG influence, so you know you can make it home..
I couldn't disagree more , it the naturally aspirated v12 and manual I want . I don't want a fake sounding Dyson my friend !

You may be shocked to hear this but the v12 vantage is rock solid mechanically . The niggles they have are not issues that will prevent you "make it home "

But the Macan does not have any utility compared to a big wagon.

I have a Range Rover Sport Td6 coming in Feb. Wish I could get more excited about it...

Another example of our weird market is that Audi had to change the RS3 Sportback (wagon) into a much less useful 4-door sedan for export to the US.

I drive my 2011 Challenger. 6.0 forged stroker, supercharged, long tubes, no cats, ported heads, Merc solonoids in the trans, and other goodies. It was my baby before the GT3.
