Although we're not getting an avant, it looks like we will be getting a cabriolet for 2008

I'd rock it!

Prefer the avant any day over a cabrio; but might as well haul ass in style. It's steps closer to getting more Audi high-end car options.

Exactly!

I never understood why we never got the avant, but I guess I get it now haha

"Audi of America was well in tune with the situation and sought to homologate the RS4 Avant. Unfortunately, the design of the car became an impossible stumbling block based on US vehicle safety standards. The specific problem was Avant’s open trunk design combined with the battery location in the rear of the vehicle. Massive costs would be incurred to either relocate the battery and redesign the electrical system or to reinforce the area around the battery. In both cases additional crash testing would be required. The cost of doing this additional design work and testing would have made the price of each RS4 Avant astronomical."

So wait, we get a CONVERTIBLE RS4? So silly.
And the battery is in the trunk on only the Avant? What the holy hell?
