A5 Avant 3.0t? Last in USA?
Spotted a gray A5 Avant 3.0t today in Gwinnett county, GA. Looked very nice, lowered, wider than normal tires.
Tried Google, found absolutely nothing on the model. Was this ever imported with the 3 liter engine? If so, when?
(I would have posted a pic, but my dash cam hadn't recorded anything since July1.. Bad power connection.)

More likely a UFO sighting
There is no such model. A B8 or B9 Avant is a "4", not a "5". The number signifies body type.
Perhaps someone playing loose with badging?
Whilst the 3.0T(DI) engine is used with A versions, the 3.0T(FSI) engine in either supercharged or turbocharged form has only ever been fitted to S models. The old B6 A4 was fitted with a naturally aspirated 3 litre gasoline engine, but your post didn't indicate whether you are describing a current or an older model.
