I'm surprised I didn't see this pop up. So much so I did a search first and didn't see it. Love that this is coming here, now I need to work on affording one!

I thought this video was done well too.

Big-powered wagons are a great compromise vehicle. I love it!

I loved that video when they posted it. I'm pleased to see the RS6 avant coming over, long overdue.

Great ad, tugged at my heartstrings a little. Pretty awesome they're coming back to the U.S. with a wagon! Would be a tough choice between this and the E63 wag.

I think that wagons will make a comeback once the younger millennials start families and don't want to drive the same cars that their parents did (SUV/CUV).

Assuming that fully autonomous vehicles don't come before then.

Interesting theory. While few SUV/CUV owners would admit as much I've long considered them to be the wagons of this era. It would be highly entertaining to see this play out where the upcoming generations reject the current trend in favor of more traditional wagons. But I'm not going to bet on it.

It’s a great video and cute story centered around a family. Well done Audi.

i think it’s all cycles so wagons will come back, then mini vans and then SUVs again. Not sure if the love affair with sedans will come back.

If they’d bring a manual version i would buy it.

Wagons just don't sell in the US. As much as the enthusiasts love them; the demand is small. Cool car and great choice for a wagon. Wagons hold their styling and make great long term buys if you want to keep car for a long time.

They sold pretty well before, and then mini vans, and then SUVs. So I agree with Rob that it's cyclical, just like fashion. However for cars, the cycles will be longer in nature as it would be generational based on people who don't want to be just like their parents. Today, a lot of people in position to buy and utilize wagons might not be able to shake off the image of wood panel wagons. But as time moves on, the new crop of buyers will not have that same image and deterrent in their head.

There's always going to people that want to be different, and people who want to be the same as everybody else. The people who want to be different will set the trends, and the people who want to be the same will eventually follow the trends, before a new cycle of people who want to be different.

And yes, pretty soon, some version of wide-leg pants are coming back in the near distant future.
