I don't care if this car "looks like all the Audis," it's freaking gorgeous. For such a small car to have so much presence... and just perfect proportions too. Hubba

Its looks like one of the previous generation A4's. I dont consider that a bad thing.

Agreed. The A4 got too long and too big for it's own good. This seems like just the right size.

The interior looks a bit spartan for an Audi.

All in all, the exterior is very sharp. Conservative but aggressive at the same time.

I'll be interested to see how this translates to a production car - not 30" wheels, normal door handles, normal ride height, etc.

Nice rendering of a concept car. Agreed, how it translates to production version is TBD.

Audi A3 sedan coming to US says company board member

Good news for any fans of smaller sports sedans:

Quote:

According to an Audi AG board member, the A3 sedan / 4-door coupe is likely headed for the U.S. market. Peter Schwarzenbauer, Audi AG board member for sales and marketing, told Autonews that the A3 sedan, based on the next gen A3 hatchback model, is a likely candidate for the U.S. market and could arrive in the US as early as 2013. via A3forums

I would think that this would completely replace the hatchback version in the US which is selling like coldcakes
