not sure if the "RS6" is truly going to be turbocharged, but i sure hope so.
I stopped by the Audi dealership to look at an A6 Avant (just to say I did my homewrok on aALL possible wagons) and the new A6 avant has a Dodge Magnum-ish issue with the shallow and steeply raked cargo area. Doesn't seem very practical-roomy unless you are putting in things that aren't very tall. At that point, it's not much better than the sedan.
