2005 Audi A6 Avant Preview

I've always taken a liking towards Audi's lineup of 'Avant' station wagons, probably because I grew up around them. My father owned two oddly-shaped specimens from Audi's darker financial days, a mid '80s 5000 Avant and an early '90s 200 Quattro Avant, both of which were non-traditional in stature as they sported more of a fastback design than a conventional wagon. Even though these unique 'estate cars' left our family, I can't help but smile when I catch a glimpse of a passing A4 or A6 Avant.
