I would consider buying this one.

Interesting, the front reminds me slightly of a Camaro at first glance. Very aggressive.

It doesn't have the big kidney front grille , so I think it is a step upwards.

I was behind a new M2 at the gas station last night, I thought it looked decent, kind of boxy and angular, a bit wide, but not too bad at all , aggressive

If they make an M3 Touring - I'm in. The efficiency of the Neue Klasse is great. That would be a cool daily. Hopefully will finally get to scratch that wagon itch.

I don't care what their market research says, you hear this all the time from people. I'd plunk down a deposit as soon as they announced.

100%

When the new RS5 Avant was previewed I sent a note to my guy at Seattle Audi. Begged him for an allocation.

He doublechecked with Audi USA and just said "nope!" Not gonna happen.

Ben said he had at least 10 other serious inquiries. In a way the Neue Klasse M3 Touring (if there ever is such a beast) would be a great choice in the long run since the drivetrain would be simpler.

Look at the pricing the RS6 Avant still commands. There's still demand. The M5 Touring doesn't look nearly as cool but it's also humongous.
I don't want to drive anything that big.

Maybe we'll get that Genesis Wingback.

One of these companies is going to get my $$$. Which one is TBD.
