Interesting.  Hell would freeze over first before a dealer did that
here.  Why bother, I suppose; they're selling 'em fast as they can.

   The local dealership(Bernardi, I've forgotten who they were before
Bernardi owned them, but not much has changed since my folks bought
their 5kCST) is expanding into much swankier digs, separate from the
VW half of the dealership, too, if I've read the signs correctly.

I wonder if Audi will entertain bringing the A3 to the states...maybe
they might try if the new C-coupe works out for Mercedes; I know a
lot of people who wanted a really nice, but also really small, car
for various reasons.  However, I seem to recall the A3's had rather
lackluster safety performance in crashes?
