This Audi station wagon is supercar fast - but you can't have one if you live in the USA

The station wagon is a dying automotive breed these days. Once the preferred mode of transportation for the American family unit, the wagon is currently facing an extinction-level event, known as the advent of the Crossover ERA, dominated by the SUVosarus species.

But there is one place where the wagon thrives: Europe.

Eurowagons aren't the hulking American Buicks that many of us remember from summer roadtrips. Rather, they're high-performance five-doors, often with luxury appointments.

Just take a look at Audi's new RS6 Avant Performance edition. This Audi isn't just a stylish cargo- and person-hauler - it's also a veritable road-going speed demon.
