Cool site. I see some Audi in it from the rear. And that should be the target, A6 wagon, add a $2000 awd and we would own the market. It might be a small market but if you can sell 100% of what you produce for a segment that cannot be a bad thing, can it? Depending on towing capacity, I know some who would place this in service as a race car hauler.

If it has sufficient towing capacity, I'd use it to tow the Judge.
But, only when necessary!

The A6 Avant starts at $49K , but it does come with AWD.

The Volvo V70 (starts at $32.5K) is another competitor in the largish wagon market.

If the sportwagon was available now, that's what I would get in a GT version.

Dealerworld update just this week, towing capacity of the G8 is 2000 lbs. I doubt the Sportwagon will be much more. Sheesh, I remember the day when a full-size rwd car could pull an Airstream

The Holden Commodore is rated to tow 4600lb with the automatic and proper towing package.

That is for both the V6 and V8.

Then what we need is a proper factory or dealer installed towing package.

Yeah, I knew that about the Commy, I thought that the SW might pull a little more...
4,600lbs is not enough, I was hoping for something north of 5,000...
I can't see an 800lb trailer carrying the Judge any distance.

Gross weight on an Airstream starts at only 3,500lbs, that's less that the Judge alone...
