One thing that we notice right away is the fact that Audi is making the grille smaller again. In a world when everyone is fighting about who has the biggest grille, A...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="68956"] words: Bill, photos: Chris Mangold What is it about wagons that have gripped enthusiasts but not the general auto-buying population? Perhaps it's due to  very lackluster wagons out there and the stigma of a mom-bus that soured prospective buyers but some companies fought back including Audi.
