I would expect they would only have the avant in the US, and with an automatic tranny, because the sedan and manual are more popular here, and they are veyr interested in delivering the exact opposite of whateveryone wants. I'm surprised they don't make the V10 R8 only available in right hand drive in the US next.

On a more useful note, when I asked my dealer about my rs6 deposit last week they did not dispute my claims of futility and we agreed to move it to the.. V10 R8... I expect to move it to the 2011 RS8 next June in hopes of keeping $1k on their books until inflation takes it to $25. Just so long as I don't actually buy a car at any point I'll be happy.
