for those of us who got their ar's new (And I'm betting we all paid roughlylow 40's to high 40's) there is nothing remotely on the market that did/does what this vehicle can do at that price. There aint nothing better or nicer pretty much at any price. Interior: not too many interiors compare with the allroad's, other than some exotics or other Audis. Performance -- the potential is almost limitless really depending upon what you want to do, tho it aint bad out of the box, especially in 6speed form. sorry to pick on you but thats why we're all pissed. Most especilly if you drive a 6 speed, YOU CULDNT THEN, AND YOU CAN NOT NOW BUY AN EQUIVALENT CAR FOR ANY MONEY. forget aboout better or nicer. If Audi had done ANY marketing of it, the allroad would have done so much better that they woud have a really loyal, but larger following who would jump to buy the next edition of the allroad. I get steamed just thinking about how they effed up. I mean they could have a hybrid version by now -- or some other green technology crossover that would be so perfect now with oil at 60 bucks a barrel. It would be the anti-suV. If only they actually spent a litte time on product development rather than just throwing it out there as a stop-gap. If it were just a piece of junk then i could understand it. Their problem is that they did too good a job putting the alroad together in the first place. ugghh

I was checking the audi site and an A6 can be configured with air suspension much like the allroad so I think with the Q7, chances are slim we'll see an allroad in the US. We were in Canada last summer and I was surprised at the attention the allroad received. Valet people were fighting over who would take or get the car, and everyone commented on how they would like to get one. I would be interested to see if Canada is getting it. AUDI was always a stealthy car company, which is nice if you don't want everyone to know what a nice car you drive, but it might not sell as many cars as it flashier competitors. AUDI is obviously moving in a less conservative direction which means they're looking for non-audi customers to get new sales. I can see AUDI saying- if you want a real SUV buy the Q7, and if you want a capable station wagon buy the A6 with the air suspension. I guess AUDI doesn't think of Subaru as a competitor, although list members seem to be giving them a look. There is a market for an allroad like vehicle but AUDI never really pursued it like it could have.

Hard to find them in temperate climates. In northern states they prove themselves on a daily basis.

At least you know you will have tried. They are listening..Wheather they act in our favor..only time will tell, but comments from the 'roaders will only help.

You don't want me to invite them here, right? We'd all have to clean up our signatures....

against yourself in your own backyard.
The allroad filled the spot for the time that Audi needed to come with a matching, US demands meeting vehicle - the Q7.

And reading between lines will leave us with 2 options: take the Q7 or get the A6.

One thing is sure: the term "a dime a dozen" will not apply to our allroads, there aren't just too many left in the US. So it will become a rare item over time....and who knows...maybe keep it's value much longer than expected.

Paul, Thank you very much for sharing!!

Ouh...BTW...some of the details we wont get ;-)
