America's Top 40 New Cars
WAGONS
36. AUDI A4 AVANT
WHY IT'S ON OUR HIT PARADE: The Avant is the modern Olds Vista-Cruiser, cooler than a Ford Country Squire then or a CUV now. Audi managed to cut weight while growing the new A4 nearly a full model size category. Its back seat is wide enough for three adults with room for their luggage in back and skis on top. The Avant comes only with the 2.0 TFSI and six-speed Tiptronic.
COOL FACT: Takes 50 percent plus of A4 sales in Europe, less than 10 percent here.
SUM UP: The enthusiast's sport/activity vehicle.
