I would say that on the Audi Avant's the extra weight allows the car to pivot little easier. But for a RWD car, I'm not sure that's necessary. But even still, a hot euro wagon is a winning combo.

Damn, that's a sexy angle from the left rear there for the white colored wagon. The 10-spoke rims looks quite nice.

Does anyone know the weight distribution of the sedan and wagon? Is it 53-47 for the sedan or something like that?

lol. no way, i love it. i think the wagon is awesome and not enough about them on this forum.

it's accurate, the length is 1-2 inches longer. previously asked the same question too. its not gonna make any difference.

ps, there was an arctic white in boerne (sp?) tx. look on cars.com. they still have it, just emailed me today to see if i want it. has PP, LSD, black ash trim, almost fully loaded. fletcher jones in LA has a few too, no? maybe not white.

Beautiful. Mine arrives in the spring. I'd love to hear your feedback on driving your E63 in the snow. What kind of tires do you have on ?

Enjoy !

how exciting! would love to hear what you picked?
seems like a lot of people are getting wagons this year. it'll be interesting to find out at years end how many they end up selling.

those are just the stock tires in the pic. this car went from the port to dealer and they just happened to be getting snow. i do have 18" wheels and blizzaks but no snow so far this year where i am so depending on how the next few weeks go the winters might not get put on at all this season.

Good Choice
Best color and wheels.

I agree. steel grey w forged 5 spoke and pp = purrrrdy. was the other color I debated. shows the lines nicely. there's a you tube video of a wagon with that combo.

mean is the desired effect painting the wheels makes them look tiny though. next up, tinting... and maybe flat badge. but those can wait a bit.

Its nice to see more people interested in/getting wagons. Maybe I'll see another on the roads?

2012 E63 TT Wagon
Wagon

Had mine a month now. 1000miles. Much nicer car especially handling from my 2007 E63 Wagon. Diamond White, LSD, Black Ash, No PP however. This car was in stock at Fletcher along with one other (Artic White, CF package, and Ceramic Brakes). I got impatient and didn't want to wait to order. Am very happy with the car, the PP would have been nice but plenty fast.

Nice pix in the snow. Yup, the stock summer tires skid like crazy in the snow but that is expected and I'm experiencing that to the full extent now. Thus I'm going sooooo slowly when there is any kind of snow/ice on the road.

Man, I guess my next car will have to be a wagon, too. If not, it will be that ML63.

Just went a saw Steel Grey E63TT wagon---- nice car but the leather was not premium which I wanted. I think the white one will do me better in the long run but the SG was indeed nice and the car itself is definitely a change up from the sedan.

I didnt drive it though as it was on the showroom. I need to drive this car.

Vic, I'm a big supporter of the wagon Since I've owned 3 different euro wagons.

I hope you go forward with it, I'm excited to see Vic build a killer wagon for the world to see.
