2015 Audi A3 Sedan (Warning: Round Vents Inside)

[DUBPL8]

TDI Quattro would be a MAJOR game-changer for sure.

I'm not to keen on this.


Who the balls am I kidding, I want.

I like it quite a bit... matter of fact... very well may be my next car.

Ive been waiting for this! It was supposed to be in Geneva but was not. I was there primarily to see this. I will be getting one of these S-3 and selling the 370Z in 2014.
Audi got this right and the US is finally getting something else from Audi. Well done!

This could make for a nice upscale alternative to a maxed out Jetta GLI without going all in for an A4 or S4. I guess if you don't like hatchbacks? Seems like there's too many sedan options though. The A3/S3 option was nice only in hatchback form.

Audi S3 Sedan

"The newly minted A3 faces immediate challenge from box-fresh small premium sedans like the Mercedes-Benz CLA and the Acura ILX, as well as players like the Buick Verano and the Lexus CT200h."

Cant believe no one has photoshopped these lower or with different wheels yet!!!

No hatch
<\3

I'd rather have a Golf R with manual/hatchback and a stage one tune for $8k less... Just saying. The S3 hatch looks awesome, well they both look nice, but tiny sedans seem less useful than a hatch to me and I don't want an automatic car. I really hope manuals are still available as time goes on.

It looks good, but what's its market?

kidding me man...

have you not seen the influx of demand in the small sedan market? bmw's 320, mb's cla?, audi a3, and jaguar is expected to release theirs next year.

Well the A3 hatchback we get will officially be the E-Tron version: autoblog

 

[LightningRhod]

This S3 is pure SEX. Might very well be my next car.......

Steering wheel and seats = sex. My buddy at the Audi dealer already knows I'm very interested to see one of these when they come out. I'd imagine the brakes and engine are from the R?

I would assume so too, which is why I'm confused why it's almost $10k more.

Getting rid of manuals is a win/win for car manufacturers in the US. It's always been a risk abandoning the large percentage of buyers who don't/can't/won't drive stick. Now that technology has gotten to the point of the AT being objectively faster across the board, they can also win at the numbers game as well for the people who only care about magazine racing.

 

[troyguitar]

Yeah the only loser is people who care about driving - but why would you want to sell cars to those people anyway?

$39K is $10K more?

The more and more I look at the pictures of this thing the more I want it. It's very sleek and stylish. If it was offered in a manual I would not hesitate and start saving my pennies.

Only having the DSG though isn't a deal-breaker either. Hopefully I'll be able to keep the GTI as a toy.
