Overdone styling- bumpers, intakes, exhaust, rims, etc. Not an appealing package in my opinion.
I see zero resemblance to a GS.
To be discontinued in two years.
Really like it. Was in Europe for a couple of weeks last month and rode around in a few MB wagons - I told my wife "I'd totally rock a cool wagon" and she looked at me like she didn't know who I was
I love it! I love there's the Audi option to get it.
What I like is in RS guise one gets a bit of sporty-aggressive without having to get aftermarket coil overs and change out wheels for something a bit larger and sporty, it's already there to get the stance they want. In other words, a people mover with a large boot to satisfy the family and the dads too.
Slightly off topic of this RS6 -- Imagine if the next Sienna had a real TRD treatment à la SE-TRD to give the dads less of a "minivan" and more of a sporty people-mover everyone would be proud to pull up in. There may not be that large of a market but there would sure be a good showing of enthusiasts who would like some blacked out trim; sportier wheels; nice stance (no gaping wheel gaps) that would give the Sienna an aggressive look just standing still, all without having to go get black trim wraps, finding a shop to get air bags or coil overs etc. etc. Toyota can do this from the factory, yes they can.
Like the styling, except those tires and wheels are awful. I just watched the Tesla M3 road trip video and the guy hit a pothole and blew his low profile tire out beyond fixing with a goo can. He had to wait 7 hrs on the highway to get it fixed. No thanks.
The trick is that while it is 'available' in the US finally, it is special order only. Which is fine, and great that we get option. Good for Audi
I believe Volvo's V60 wagon (non-Cross Country model) is special order only too. It's good to see a few more wagons available in the U.S. Most likely both of them will be low volume, but if a few more of them are seen on the street it might entice some new wagon buyers.

Oh yeah, I'm not complaining. I'm just happy to see more options come to our shores
Let's be real... A $100k+ fast wagon isn't going to suddenly make wagons popular again.
Audi: "Americans don't buy wagons, so let's make a really expensive one to make them look cool!"
Americans: can't afford it
Audi: "Ope, looks like wagons aren't cool anymore. Time to discontinue them in America."
Audi is bringing the wagon resurrection with the RS6
