January 3, 2007 - IGN Overlord and resident German Peer "Ja Kool" Schneider has been quite pleased with us lately. Peer's stoked that we've been cutting back on the JDM-only reviews in favor of DTM-tyte rides from his homeland. These days, it's hard for us to request anything but a German-made ride. The Germans build cars for driving enthusiasts, and as we like to consider ourselves driving enthusiasts, we like to think that the German auto manufacturers build these cars just for us. We wanted to continue to sample the best rides Germany has to offer (all while staying on Mr. Schneider's good side), so we called up the peeps at Audi and demanded another car. Rather than hang up on us, which most companies do when we demand stuff, Audi said "sure thing" and asked us what kind of car we wanted. We've spent enough time in German sedans and coupes. Being in L.A., too many a**holes drive these Teutonic two and four-door cars as a false sign of wealth, and we didn't want to be associated with them. So what vehicle type did this leave us with? Our favorite type: the wagon. We asked Audi for an A6 Avant, and boy did Audi deliver.
