[s-cars] Looking for a good S6 avant to buy

[matt ludwig]

i am not 100% sure here, but i think Josh was referring to a 1995 or  
1995.5 S6 Avant, not a B5-chassis'd 02-03 S6 Avant. Josh, correct me  
if i am wrong here.

in any event, w/ regard to the "newer" avants, they are significantly  
different. the tailgate volume alone is a huge increase (don't have  
figures available in front of me) but the real gain is in the rear- 
seat leg room. it is the same for the sedan body types as well- just  
look at an A6 sedan vs. an A4 sedan rear seats the next time you are  
in *any* CO parking lot. i am sure there are even all the model/year  
combos there to compare as well. ;)

HTH.

sincerely,

matt ludwig.
