For the person who once said the S4 wagon was the next logical step up from the protege5...

I think the latest is that they WILL bring the A3 to the US. BMW will not offer the 1 here. (sad2)
 
p5 looks way better. id rather have a bmw 1 series, but doesnt seen like they plan on bringing it over here anytime soon.
 
the 2 door's are being tested here in AZ right now. Spotted one on the highway. Yellow 2 door A3.
 
I saw some in europe way before they had even thought of bringing them here.. 2door...more traditional grill...but very audi, very nice.... But i want the S3...if there is one...
 
probably...but if they could fit the 2.7tt in it i would be happy...maybe 350-400hp would make up for the 3000lbs.
i mean they put the 4.2L v8 in the new S4... who knows what the crazies at audi will do next. maybe they will finally make all their cars out of aluminum.
 
Yeah the 2.7L would be cool but honestly I'd rather them put in a nice four banger with a turbo and AWD. I have always just liked fours...easier to work on and cheaper to modify(usually). We shall see if they can keep it under 3000lbs but not bloody likely.
 
LOL...with the awd probably not...although the 2door A3 was pretty small. It comes stock with a 165hp 2.0L Now thats not much but if they turbo'd that 2.0L i bet they could see 220+...that would be hot!!!
 
Damn straight that'd be hot.Still 165 isn't bad either. I'd love to have 165 in my p5.

just checked audi site, they said the american 2.0L FSI will be turbo'd and will have 200hp. in europe the standard 2.0L has 150hp.
 
(dance)
I must have been thinking of the 150hp europe version. When Car and Driver did their writeup it was based on the euro model. Well then 200hp turbo a3....hmmmm so many hot cars these days what will be next. Unfortunately it will probably cost almost as much as an rx8 :( ...then what.
 
I think that somebody(manufacturer) needs to make a TRUE enthusists car. One that is light first and foremost and has several engine choices and drivetrain choices and the only options would be creature comforts like A/C power windows and all the crap you really don't need in a car(the stuff MR. Hohum would want). I wish i could design a car for somebody...that'd be sweet.
