C6 S6 Avant

[AFONE]

Wikipedia says they were imported to the North America market but I've never seen one.
Here's a nice one that I captured from the A6 4F Germany Facebook group that I belong to.

Has anyone ever seen a C6 S6 Avant in person?

Nope, and I'm pretty sure wiki is wrong on this one

I've seen a few in person. While living in Italy.

Maybe Canada, but not here.

Negative to C6 S6 in Canada.

I've never seen one imported legally. However, I did once park next to a guy who'd purchased a C6 RS6 in Mexico, along with a wrecked A6 avant in the states, then did a VIN swap to get it registered. He was a good man.

Well, after browsing the audiworld forum, apparently there's someone in Washington state that is the proud owner is this pristine example. Now I just need to convince them to part with the keys.

If you find an RS6 let me know too...

Upon further review, I'm thinking that this may be a poser S6. If you look at photo hard enough you can see the outline of the passenger seat headrest which has the shape of the standard C6 seat and not the narrow S6 headrest.
Nice car either way though...

I have seen this car in person, and spoken to the owner about it. It's a A6, however it has been swapped with an S6 drivetrain. It's very well done, but it's the only way you're legally getting an S6 avant here - make your own

Which is completely legal. There is no legal way (currently) to get a C6 S6 or RS6 avant stateside. Period. Any that claim to be here permanently are not legal, even if you dupe the people at the DMV to register it for you. The only way would be to petition to have it added to the eligible for import list, which requires crash testing and federalization (changing headlights, cluster, etc). Unless you get them to go with "substantially similar" to an A6, but that's even harder.

Thanks for the further insight
