a3 on the way to NA

[David]

I'm not sure I see the point of the A3. It's less than $2,000 under the price of a A4. The 3 will start around $25k and the A4 around $27k...What I would LOVE to see (but never will) is a good replacement for old-skool Audis, like a A3 or TT stripper model that comes all the "goodies" that I don't want.

Yeah, I was bummed to see that as well. I mean, c'mon guys, you're Audi--ya 
know, quatt-friggin-ro. If there was no wait on the quattro, I was all 
pumped to march down to MLAD to place the order. Oh well, once you have 210k 
mi on an old audi, what's another 40k?  The Dodge Magnum hemi w/AWD is on 
the way, maybe that'll be fun in a 13 mpg sorta way.

(Side note: is it just me, or does it seem that from the M-B/Chrys merger, 
the Chrysler products are getting much better whilst the quality of the M-B 
products is taking a plunge?)
