First Pics of the Wagon (Constructive Criticism Welcomed!)

[Rchow]

Guys and Girls:

I posted this on the Avant forum but wanted to share over here too.

I've owned the avant for about 5 years and now I feel comfortable posting some pics. Please let me know what you think and hope you enjoy, cheers! Oh and if anyone can pshop the wagon on bags that would be awesome. Thanks!!!

It looks good. Any full side pics of the wagon in color. Just tryin' to see how those wheels look on the car.

[Exanimas]

Beautiful. I think it would look better with painted lowers, but some people like the unpainted look. Either way it's an amazing avant.

[xRAYx]

Gorgeous! honestly one of the best looking avants ive seen

[trav10]

what was there to be uncomfortable about before?? that's a beautiful avant man.

[Sales@RAI]

wheels are sick

[euroazfck]

Helz yeah! I want a wagon so bad! Lol

[jimbro]

Sexy avant! You should get a hatch spoiler

[bryzf1]

I'm not usually a fan of wheels w/ rivets, but they look fantastic on your car!

[krew53]

[euroazfck]

Nice! I love the wagons!

Avant looks good.

2 comments from me......

1. less tire goo. Your tires like like they were extras in a ghostbusters movie.
2. Don't try the old "put your subject out of focus" trick like in photos 1 & 6 unless you have a large aperture lens that's capable of pulling it off. (otherwise it just looks like you don't know how to work the camera)

Painted lowers fo sho

[jimbro]

Painted lowers fo sho

either paint the lowers or color match the DTH sideskirts to the lowers

[JoshDub]

How have you hidden this car from us for so long?

Looks great!

[tapA4]

This car is sex man. I'd leave the lowers like they are..the rims look great too!

Anyone using the term "Wagon" when referring to an Avant, should be taken away and shot, IMO. Calling an Avant a Wagon is evidence of either ignorance of the Audi tradition, or a derogatory insult by intent. I don't see that happening here, but that is the assumed situation established for a long time now. Just a FYI.

OP, I know you are not dissing your Audi, after all your Avant is an outstanding example of good taste and well executed Audi Style. The term "Wagon" is associated with large land barges like the huge pre SUV GM station wagons of the '70's. That is why it is a de facto slam to call an Avant a "wagon". However, if "wagon" is your prefered term refering to your Avant, that is your choice.

So what do you think about the parts companys that list them as "wagon"

[Soolman32]

I'm digging it!

[PRY4SNO]

It's nice, though I'd add chrome S4 mirror caps and chrome roof rails to blend the dished lip on your wheels.

[BerNur]

post some pics in color please before i go color blind

[jai5]

take that low sticker off the car.

That car is not low.

oh and photography fail.(sorry)

I think they are clueless/uniformed and unfamiliar with Audis.

[El_Chapusca]

[Dub69]

OZ Mito modulars FTW!!!

Guys/Girls

Thanks for all the comments! Here are some more pics requested:









And one more black and white (happens to be my wallpaper) Enjoy!

[snowdogg]

I like the overall look... but the valve stem caps are a bit cheesy for my taste... knurled stainless would complete the look in MHO.
