2011 Audi A6 Avant
|
For the third time - and second year in a row - the Audi A6 Avant took top honors in this high-end wagon segment. The Audi narrowly outperformed strong competition from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Cadillac to bring home the award. The key to the A6 Wagon’s success was solid results across the board in all eight cost categories measured, showing that the combination of technology, styling and luxury provided by Audi also provides great value to discriminating clients.
