Yes, you said never ever a station wagon
I was theorizing...and I am getting older.
Personally I find the RS6 far more exciting than any SUV. It probably is more fun to drive, due to the lower center of gravity, and has equal or more space inside. It looks gorgeous too, I checked out an RS6 Performance version at the dealer when we got the S3 Whack in the ABT chip (730hp / 920Nm) and you will overtake almost everything on the autobahn.
I like SUVs more but you are right, from a driving point of view, it would probably be more fun.
The RS6 Performance seems to be pretty color sensitive. I liked the red one a lot but a grey (Daytona...I think) one looked boring. Same goes to black (Mystic Black metallic), they are a bit too shiny (these colors) and a "plain" color seems to look better on the car. Actually, in mystic black metallic, it looked almost like a hoarse.
The ABT tuning for the RS6 Performance is around 10k EUR over here (incl. install and TÜV), it gives the car 705 hp (100 hp more...) and you can choose a Vmax of 300 or 320 kph (same cost). If you add the ABT sport exhaust, it costs around 13k EUR. With an Akrapovic exhaust, add another 3k or so.
The 735 hp tuning requires a bit more hardware, cost is over 20k EUR in Germany.
As you can see, I did my homework on RS6 tuning (I was curious... ) and yes, it is a very interesting car but since my wife really doesn't like it and I'm not a big station wagon fan either...
Let's see what kind of deal the Audi dealer offers, we are still far away from any breakthrough on any car.
