The 2017 S4 Avant (wagon), available only in Europe. No S6 wagons in North America since 2003. And now, no more S4 wagons in North America either? Can it be true??
What is the world coming to? I mean, what if I’m running late and I wanna haul ass to get to a camp ground before it gets dark, and then sleep in my car? I need a fast wagon for that! What if I need to get a LOT of groceries home in an expedited fashion? Mercedes has come to the North American arena with a ballsy AMG trim wagon, and now Audi is backing out? Oh my gosh…
So what’s under the hood for 2017? Well, it’s an eight speed automatic V6, but when you just effin give er, this puppy pulls with 354 hp, and a torque of 368.8 lb‑ft that runs from 1,370 to 4,500 rpm, AND with a fuel consumption advertised at less than 7.4 liters of fuel per 100 km (31.8 US mpg). That is wayyyy better than my five speed automatic 1.8Turbo wagon from 2004, BUT, you probably won’t get that kinda mileage if you need to get home before your frozen yogurt starts to melt.
Base price of 61,150 Euros, or $89,000 Canadian ($66,000 US).

Well if they’re not sending any more power wagons to North America, then I guess the 2008 S4 will be the last of the mighty V8 Audi wagons in North America.
