She's right to a large extent. In the old cities there is very little space for parking and big suburban houses like in America don't exist here. But the other reason for cars like the RS6 Estate is that Europeans like estate cars. They are very popular and Audi would sell a lot more estates than sedans here. And unlike America, almost no-one buys SUV's.

Of course, Europeans also buy cars mostly with small diesel engines so the market for the RS6 is still not that great. I imagine that most of them are sold in Germany where they still love big horsepower and have autobahns to drive them on. In Belgium that car would be taxed to oblivion.
