2015 Audi Prologue Avant Concept Shows 4-Door, Fast-Wagon Style Ahead of Geneva Show

We have seen two iterations of the Prologue concept so far from Audi: both coupes with the scale and presence to compete between the BMW 6 series and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupes.

The Cormeum SLS upgrade is a great blend of fresh elements like the new headlamps (which look like they might be from the Ferrari 599), pointy new nose-cone and giant central-mounted rear wing. The result is certainly dramatic — and feels like something the SLS’s …
