Now why a C55 WAGON? Never got the point where people would acquire a C240 WAGON. And now the E55 Wagon???!! I mean come on, but I guess everyone has their likes and dislikes..

Great choice. Too bad we don't have the C55 Touring option here in the USA. Though the S4 Avant & V70R are both nice cars. How long until your car is ready, a month?

I probably would have ended up with an Audi RS6 instead of the C32 if they had sold the wagon version stateside -- I thought it looked a lot better. I wonder what their sales are on the S4 Avant versus the S4 Sedan and Cabriolet in the US. It seems pretty equal here.

Wonder the Wagon version 's suspension is softer ? Or are they the same feel?

I have a C240 wagon right now as a MBSD loaner car, and I really like it, except for the lack of power. That C55 touring should be awesome. The only roughly comparable car available here in the U.S. which comes to mind is the Dodge Magnum Wagon with the hemi motor.
I think that you will be very happy with your choice.

I would definitely buy a C55 Touring Wagon. They look awesome! And because Amercians hate wagons so much, there aren't that many around... more the reason I would want one ! Exclusivity and AMG power !

I will take this decision after a couple of months. I'm living close to German border and we don;t have speed limits overthere. (oops 320KM/h) 200 miles/houre with the compressor on the C55
