    Audi RS 6 Avant Heading to the US

      ...When you need to get groceries fast...

    After 25 years on the market in other countries as Forbidden Fruit, the Audi RS 6 Avant will finally be coming to the U.S.  The RS 6 Avant comes with a 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 that gets from naught to 62.1 mph in 3.6 seconds.  On the track, the wicked wagon is capable of a top speed of 155 mph. European specifications for the engine are 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, however U.S. specs will be released closer to launch.  Putting that power to all four wheels is an eight-speed Tiptronic. The Quattro system actively splits torque between each of the rear wheels with the ability to send nearly all torque to one wheel. 

    The RS comes with an adaptive air suspension with controlled damping that can be set to comfort or performance.  An optional suspension is offered, driver adjustable Dynamic Ride Control that helps with improved cornering and handling. Drivers can select from six drive modes, including RS1 and RS2 which are customizable. 

    The exterior of the RS is specific to the car. The body of the car is about 1.6 inches wider than none RS Avants with flared wheel arches. 

    The RS 6 Avant will arrive in dealerships in 2020.

    Nice interior, exterior is too coupe like for me in a CUV. Be interesting to see final specs and pricing. Hopefully they bring some quality as I have noticed all Audi's seem to have a very bad soot problem at the exhuast. They really seem to blacken things up out of the tailpipe.

    It's not a CUV..it's a proper station wagon...the performance wagon version of the A6 sedan.

    OK, Yup I am WRONG, your right it is a station wagon as I look at it again. But hate the Coupe backside of it.

    This is what I grew up in as a proper station wagon:

    See the source image

     

    Custom Cruiser Delta 98 with the rear facing 3rd seat. Roomy, comfy and a true road cruiser.

    I love how it looks.  

    If I had a lot of money, I would just buy it for kicks, a station wagon that can probably beat most Corvettes, at least in a straight line.

    • OUCH, This is a big hurt as the details of how a 25% tariff will play out on the auto prices. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/implemented-or-not-trump-s-25-tariff-threat-is-challenging-the-auto-industry/ar-AA1ybfK6?ocid=msedgntp&pc=W069&cvid=f8ace88f37f148288cd3f5276396c104&ei=42 Quote: Wells Fargo estimates that 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada imports would cost the traditional Detroit automaker billions of dollars a year. The firm estimates the impact of 5%, 10% and 25% tariffs on GM, Ford Motor and Chrysler parent Stellantis would collectively be $13 billion, $25 billion and $56 billion, respectively. S&P Global Mobility, formerly IHS Markit, estimates a 25% duty on a $25,000 vehicle from Canada or Mexico would add $6,250 to its cost — some if not most of which could be passed on to the consumer. Here are the automakers that are most exposed to tariffs on vehicles imported from Mexico, based on the percentage of their U.S. sales being produced south of the border: Volkswagen: 43% Nissan: 27% Stellantis: 23% GM: 22% Ford: 15% Honda: 13% Toyota: 8% Hyundai: 8% So, a $25,000 auto will become a $31,250 auto due to the Tariffs.  Get ready for MASSIVE INFLATION under the incompetent leadership of the U.S. Ford Mach-e that are manufactured in Mexico have an Average transaction price of $40,959 with a 25% tariff, that will be a Tariff of $10,240 so a purchase price becomes $51,199  OUCH, it hurts to see all the bets against our country and stock market for things falling, but sadly the leadership has not given me any reason to not see the country stock market falling this year. Hedge funds bet billions on market crash in Trump’s America
    • @oldshurst442 This is becoming a joke as the incompetent administration is now scrambling to try and stop the mess Idiot47 is making of everything including the latest crash with assigning blame at the wrong folks. Trump aides 'scrambling' to shore up his image after he spread 'confusion and fear': WSJ Seems the CFO has let the cat out of the bag, Idiot47 administration will have a huge financial impact on Tesla as they could go into negative earnings as so many components are made outside the US, including the battery packs for many of the 3 & Y models. Despite Elon Musk’s close ties to Trump, Tesla’s CFO admits the president’s tariffs plan would impact ‘business and profitability’
    • Buckle up dear American friends. These tariffs are going to cost the avg US household a whole lotta money.  New car prices. Gasoline.  Transportation on goods. Keep in mind that the US uses a LOT of Canadian oil.  That is why the fat moron only wants to tariff oil at 10% rather than the 25% he keeps on heckling about.  Housing.   Plus, we Canadians are going to tariff US goods as well. Which wont be good but it will be necessary.  A tariff war will not benefit either of us, but believe it or not, it will be a lot worse for you guys...  Ontario and Quebec provide electricty to MILLIONS of Americans in the North East.  THAT wont be good.  It will be disatrous to the price of eggs if you will, to those shytheads that voted in Trump.   And, this beautiful blonde lady that  represents Donald's mouth, in this clip, she mentions fentanyl.  But does she know that underground CIA operations have fostered fentanyl production in South American countries?  Probably not, but I diont see her lasting too long at her job because she not only is dumber than Donald's previous mouth pieces such as Kayleigh McEnany and Sarah Huckabucks, she looks to be timid as well.  At least the other two could lie with a straight face and believe the bullshyte, this one looks like she is going to break down. She seems to have moral standards...  Which I kinda feel bad for her, because I have a feeling reporters this time around wont let the bullshyte fly like they did 2016-2020.  And Fox news had to pay millions of dollars for bullshytting.  The threat for punishment for false info still looms.  I cant believe though, that  Donald the duck administration had the balls to tell her to say that Justin Trudeau shoudnlt be threatening Donald with retalitory tariffs before talking to the duck first.   Too bad this aint hockey, because Donald would have had his hockey jersey over his head and Justin be pounding on him.      PS Justin is an amateur boxer.  Donald is just a fat phoque.
