I Hope they bring the new S3 hatchback here. Even sedan would be nice...

I believe they've confirmed that we will at the very least see the S3 sedan

So WHEN will the USDM S3 be on sale? Early next year? Made in China? Hmmm.

I think S3 would start low 40s to 55k for fully equipped. The S4 starts at $48k.
So maybe $43K |

It would be a good STI alternative at that price...

Audi A3, the new A4.
Seriously, if these trends in 15 years, they'll need to make a A.25, and an A.125. Just stop making your smaller cars bigger each year...enough already. That goes for everybody. |

So the lowest priced car in your luxury stable will be your best seller, go figure. (the only reason the A3 wasn't before is was the hatch only configuration.

So because they've been doing it, they should keep doing it? Wow, tremendous justification there. Why change? Because the pattern is silly. Because the last thing we need are bigger, heavier cars, year after year. Because they're going to run out of numbers. Because I wouldn't be caught dead in a mere "1 series" or an A2, or an A3. I mean, who can get laid in one of those? |

Again, though, this is how the industry works. Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes bad. In the case of the '14 Forester, bigger was better for me. It meant the difference between buying a Subaru Forester and not buying a Subaru Forester. |

It gets bigger because "this years model is exactly the same as your last model just looks different" doesn't bring return buyers". "This model has 3 more inches of leg room than your model" makes people trade in cars.

Oh man, that S3 version with 293hp sounds real nice. I might have to reevaluate my next car situation. I've always been a fan of the S4's and thought that it might be my next vehicle. However, they seem to be getting too big. The S3 looks to fit the bill perfectly for me.

3,200lbs for a 300HP german luxo sedan. Not bad. Tunable to at least 360-380 I'm sure. The new STi better have some serious performance improvements, cause a loaded Limited will be north of $40k I'm sure. |

I hope so. I remember reading an article on Autoblog a couple months ago where Audi had changed their mind decided to bring it over, despite originally deciding against it. Ideally my girlfriend and I were thinking about getting that as a replacement for her 2010 Corolla (which is running fine, but she might just give it to one of her parents). I'm hopeful for it.
Well, you can get the VW Golf R if you want to row it yourself. It's kind of similar. |
