But as the old model I bet it would be quite rare.. way more common the saloon one.. the opposite than for RS6

MB USA never imported the previous generation E55 Wagon, and I doubt they will now. I wonder if I could grey market one into the US. Anyone know?

I'll try that route, Adlin. The US has draconian regulations though. Will let you guys know how it turns out.

There is even a CAR Magazine comparative between it and the RS6 so they made it in Europe but for the US, i guess it wouldn't be easy as US regulations are quite stricts. But, the engine is already homologated, the body too and body kit too i suppose so maybe it would be easier
