2011 A4 Avant Premium: $47,200
2011 Q5 2.0T Premium + Sunroof + AMI + BiXenon: $45,250
2011 A4 Avant Premium Plus: $49,400
2011 Q5 2.0T Premium Plus + Panoramic Sunroof: $47,600
There is quite a market segment overlap right now and Audi Canada's "pricing strategy" is destroying the Avant's market share completely. Having said that, if you found a dealer who actually has an Avant in stock, you probably can get quite a bit of discount as they are not moving them at all.
That depends on where you live I think. There were virtually no Avants in stock in the Vancouver area when I started to look in August and the 2011 model is popular, commanding a somewhat higher price in terms of markup over dealer invoice.regional allocations are a factor also.

I don't see too many Avants at my local dealership....and when they do arrive they don't last long on the lot.

I drove one this past summer; found it to be just a treat. Light and nimble.
