Tangentially related to wagons ...
The new 2015 S60 T6 E-Drive review at Autoblog
As tested it wasn't cheap at $48K but apparently a 2.0L supercharged and turbocharged engine with 302hp ... Which is kinda crazy awesome.
There's also a 2.0T version that's currently available in the Wagon too. This engine should be coming to the V60 at some point too.
302hp/295lb-ft, 8-speed auto, 24/35 EPA. A Premium Plus S60 T6 E-Drive with a fair amount of kit excluding BLIS and Navigation is about $44k. That's a pretty good deal.
Only caveat is FWD only right now. It'll be interesting to see what happens when this setup arrives on the V60. A V60 with the same options would be about $46K.

My Foreman from work just showed me this video of his buddies' wagon. He says it has a Twin Turbo Corvette motor in it.

New W205 Estate, I'm assuming with the Sport/AMG package.



Bit of an Audi Estate look from the side profile, IMO, like an A4.
Personally, I love it. Hope/wish they sell it in the US
& that we'll get an AMG variant.

Paul Walker's RS6 Avant for sale:

On the tree of forbidden automotive fruit, there sits an unassuming vehicle fitted with a long roof. It's a wagon. More specifically it's an Audi wagon, which the German automaker prefers to call an Avant. If you look at the badge on the rear of the car, you'll see that it reads "RS6". That's your clue that this five-door vehicle is so much more than "just a wagon".
It's a vehicle that's not sold here in the United States. If you want one, you'll have to get it shipped here the good 'ole grey market way. That's just what Paul Walker did a few years back, when he purchased a 2003 Audi RS6 Avant. Mr. Walker was a lover of all things automotive before his untimely death last year. His car collection is impressive, but this one didn't last long with his name attached to the title.
Walker drove the car for a few years before blowing the engine. The motor was replaced, the car was sold, and now the second owner is looking to move the four-ringed sleeper beast on to a new home. It's listed for sale on eBay, with the current bid (as of the time of this writing) sitting at a tick over $58,000. The reserve has not been met, and there are still three days left on the auction clock.
It's a unique change to own a vehicle that rarely steps tire inside our borders. In fact, there may be just three or so examples in the entire country at this moment. Additionally, this one has an interesting back story since it was owned by Mr. Fast and Furious himself. Is it worth the more than $60k the seller is asking? That's a tough call with nearly 100,000 miles on the clock, but the real answer is that it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

but Acura needs to find a way to steal some of Audis designers and learn how to do it.
