Weird if you ask me. I'd rather see the saloon first!

You know, I wouldn't mind one bit if they released the RS6 in Avant form only. The RS2 was an Avant, and so were the first generation RS4 and RS6... (and in my eyes the Avants look better anyway).

I know that RS and avants go hand in hand. But if Audi really has intended to launch the Avant first and the Sedan 6 months or so later, it's going to suck.

Many customers who have lay down a deposit will be extremely disappointed and perhaps even feel betrayed by Audi

The vast of those who buy high performance cars buy sedans. I see a wave of RS6 cancellations on the way if Audi have intended to play their customers this way.

Well, imo it's a MUST for Audi to release a saloon aswell. Just look on the RS6 and RS4 B7 how well they got recieved by the media and the owners. Now that Audi are where they are, I think the more RS-models, the better!

i dont care..cause as i see it the avant RS6 is THE ONE..
it will be the hot one.. i will be surprised if the sedan looks better..

I dont think anyone who has waited this long for a RS6 and has already put a deposit down for one will really acre if they have to wait another 3-4 months for the sedan version!

No, but just think how much power these family sedans will be packing in say 10 years. I'm guessing between 850 and 950hp, that's!

I asked the following questions to a reliable source:

* Will the RS6 be presented in both sedan and avant versions?
* Will it have over 560hp?
* Will the RS6 come with the facelift of A6?
* Will it be presented 100% in Frankfurt?

And I got these answers:
1/ I have been told only the Avant will be presented at Frankfurt.
2/ I have no definite answer to the 560hp question, sorry.
3/ The RS6 in both forms will get the face-lift.
4/ 100% it will be there.

Plus, Audi press-conference will be held on 11/09 at 12-00.
It seems the announcement will be played LIVE on Audi.TV
