Re: Avant

I think the europeans and Audi the car maker called the 5000 Avant an Avant
before we americanised the car and called it a wagon. I own an 86 5KQ Avant
and my father has the 88 5KQ Avant Olympic Special Edition. These are great
large cars (people movers)!

But you're right I just finnished getting the car registered here in
California and the DMV didn't know what an Avant is. There is no Avant badge
on my Q and it's from Canada, Eh. In fact while I lived there and saw plenty
of Avants I didn't see any badges on them.
