Jeez, they all look so similar. Only way I can tell them apart on the road is by trying to match up the length with what would be probable.

I agree, the above have sold well. However, they are mostly all niche models or niche brands that don't show high volume sales. I can't blame Audi for going where the meat of the market is and wanting higher numbers.

Regarding the A7/S7, I don't think that vehicle is a traditional hatchback in the sense we are talking about with the A3 hatchback. The low slung and coupelike A7 basically has a small, trunkated rear that opens as one piece with the rear window. When I say or think "hatchback," or when we list the last A3, the image of a more upright body comes to mind. Funny though, the lines and boundaries are slowly becoming blurred as time goes on.

drove the A3 2.0T last night at a great event in Houston.

Car was nice except for the base HVAC...granted this is the base version but still...no automatic a/c, no digital readouts, pretty blah.
Plus -- no standard backup cam (even the Honda Civic has this std equip), no standard smartkey (2004 Prius had this as std equip!)




here's the (slightly) better HVAC controls....
