That's like saying to the buyer: if you want the performance you have to go the sedan route or an SUV.
Then the Audi A6. The last one offered here was the Allroad, which again, is a nice car but who wants an off-roader wagon? MB has enjoyed quite a bit of success with the E-class wagon, and Audi seems to be selling as many RS6s as they can route this way. I'm on a waiting list for one and don't expect to get it until H2-2023 the earliest.
I believe that if BMW was to offer the M3 Touring over here for a price comparable to the sedan it would sell like hotcakes. I would certainly want one.
