Audi A3

Recently Audi announced they would be bringing the 5 door A3 hatch to the US. You can read the press release here. The car is cool and all but it is not the A3 3 door hatch nor the S3. What is really funny to me is the fact that they don't bring the 3 door version because there is no demand, thats why they orginally weren't going to bring the VW R32 over. But when they did they sold out almost entirely. So there is a demand for those type of cars, people even created a petition to get them(A3 3 door) over here. I signed it(#713) and so did my friend Josh(#723). Check out his blog entry about the A3. I agree entirely. They really should send that car over here!!! At least if they are not going to ship the A3 3 door over, send us more engine options(ie. diesel) in the A4 and INCLUDE NAV on ALL your A4 line, not just the 3.0. Sometimes we in the US get the bum end of the deal on cars from overseas sometimes.
