See my last post for more info,
  However, I forgot to comment on the All-Road.  I have NOT
driven the car.  But I can attempt to repeat what a friend said
that is a very good driver.
  He loved it.  Short and Sweet.  Hated the tip but he always
does.  But he thought it handled better than his Dads A6 2.7t. 
Stock.  That car is modified now and would blow the Allroad off
the road, but in stock form basically he said its a nice balance
of firmness yet still comfortable.  In the low position it sits
lower than the A6 2.7t and feels very well behaved.  He did say
it feels heavier than the 2.7t but overall he liked it.  This is
coming from a person who is VERY set in their beliefs and was
Sure he would hate the car.  Calling it an SUV wannabe and
stopped short of basically calling it a lumbering behemout that
was a disgrace.  So for him to come back saying he liked it blew
me away.  Made me want one even more.  But Alas, what I REALLY
want is an S6 Avant.  
  Greg J...I love your Avant.  But I'll take an S6 Avant with a
6-speed ANY day. :-)  For what, only 4 times the price of your
91' 200. :-)
