New cars for FC Bayern Munich

[Erik]

Bayern Munich is a club that represents the finest in German football:
it has almost 95,000 members and some 120,000 enthusiastic fans who are members of clubs all over the world.
Here are pics of some of the team.

Some were more lucky than others when the cars were handed over…

I'm sure this has been covered, but how come all German RS6s are Avants?

Maybe Audi wants to make a statement? These are all sponsor cars.

Europe is still more into stationwagons, then minivans.

In some countries the share of the Avant is 40%+

In Austria from 01-09.2003 the share of the A4 Avant was 57%

And finally - a finding i read ones:

"beautiful stationwagons are called Avant"

There is nothing to add to that.

I don't know the actual sales figures, but before the RS6 went on sale here, Audi UK were predicting that 70% would be Avants.
