PARIS — Audi officials have confirmed that despite pleas from hard-core enthusiasts, the 2009 Audi RS6 will not come to the United States, according to www.edmunds.com. According to Jeff Kuhlman, Audi’s chief communications officer, the “volume just doesn’t justify it.”
Audi only expects to build 8,000 RS6 sedans and wagons throughout its run. Certifying the RS6 for U.S. sales would likely increase its cost basis above and beyond the already unfavorable exchange rate. The RS6 starts at €105,550 in Germany.
