 Say, could you tell me how that third seat exactly works? I recall the
 brochure said it can be "folded or swiveled to the side." But no matter
 how I look at the picture, I couldn't imagine how it's done.
 
 So how is it done on the new A6 Avant?

So complicated, I'm not sure if I can really remember. However here goes. It's
basically a mini fully upholstered seat that does fold up and twist out of the
way for some storage or it can be removed entirely. It sits on top of the rear
floor and thus sits up much higher than the earlier fold away under the floor
style. I think Audi could have taken some lessons for dodge on this one.
