[s-cars] Cashmere/Black S6 Avant on Wisconsin Craigslist...

[Steve Mills]

I've looked at pretty much every Avant that has been up for sale over the
last 3 years, and the vast majority of them are 95's (and the same goes for
the S6 sedans). The whole 95.5 thing is something Audi did to get around the
lack of OBDII compliance that was required for 1996 cars in the US. They
imported 1996 model year cars (with many changes compared to the real 1995
model year cars) as 95's.. It's really pretty amazing that they were able to
get away with it.
