audi future

[Jon Linkov]

Overall Avants don't sell that well. Considering the trick names
manufacturers give to vehicles so they don't call them "wagons" (which have
the connotation of a fake-wood adorned Buick in the USA), that body style
still isn't popular nationwide.

Of the 78,xxx cars AoA sells to the dealers each year, a small % are Avants
when compared to worldwide sales numbers. The US market doesn't accept them
the same as the rest of the world does.
