  AUDI S6 Avant
With its inaugural launch into the North American market, the 2002 Audi S6 Avant is fresh evidence of Audi's advanced technological authority and justified claim to sporty character-common characteristics shared by all members of Audi's coveted "S" family.
The S6 Avant, with more than 36 cubic feet of luggage area, is designed to appeal to the "forward thinking" driving enthusiast who appreciates a more progressive performance concept, without sacrificing functionality, safety and design.
The interior of the S6 Avant showcases heated front sport seats with 12-way power lumbar supports, a new three-position memory function for both driver and passenger seats, Gray Birch wood trim, heated and power adjusting and folding anti-fog exterior mirrors with memory function, leather upholstery with Alcantara headliner and a three-spoke sport steering wheel.
