I love the look of the new Allroad - the chrome grille, the slightly higher ride height, and plastic cladding give the former A4 Avant an aggressive look. However, that's the problem: figuring out who the Allroad is supposed to be aimed at, since those who want an Avant will scoff at the added ride height and those who want an SUV will look at the similarly priced Q5. Maybe Audi is trying to court those buyers who remember the previous A6 Avant-based Allroad and hoping that the new buyers will overlook the fact this A4-based car lacks its predecessor's trick air suspension.
