I guess part of the interview agreement process is not to discuss future car that hasn't been released or officially discussed, yet. But it would have been nice to read about the future of the A4 platform, specifically the Avant models in the USA, by asking how the current sales of Avant models are in relation to their:

1. Overall sales goal/target
2. Overall image and demand for a "station wagon"
3. How this model offering is in conjunction to the Audi brand of automobile in the USA
4. With the discontinuation of the allroad, if the Avant satisfies this duplication. Or if the sales figure is an indication of the future of the line up.

Here's hoping to read more interviews soon.

You are right, they would decline to discuss, so I wouldn't waste time asking about it - more of a thing you talk to product planning about off the record.

That said I will try to gather some info for you.
