I think it looks good. What engine will it have?

It will have a 2.0l TFSI with 265 bhp.
I hope that RS3 will also come out with 4.2l V8 and 344bhp or better 420 bhp

Pricing an S3 will be difficult due to overlap with the A4. Already the A3 is pricey in the 3.2L version.

Alex, are you freakin’ insane?! A 4.2L V8 in THAT?

Anyway, I don’t mind it, but I have a feeling that the Golf GTI would still be a better hot hatch.

Guarantee those of us in the states will not see this vehicle. Just like all the previous S3s. Sad.

#3 is dead on. The A3 3.2Q can easily run into the mid $50’s (Canadian pricing) with a few options. For the same price, I can do an an A4 2.0T Avant with almost every option AND still have enough left over for a GIAC or APR chip.

#2-Alex- “I hope that RS3 will also come out with 4.2l V8 and 344bhp or better 420 bhp”

Dude, that chassis won’t allow it. Also do you realize how front heavy it would be then.

Small car- small engine. Lots of boost. That’ll make you happy.

I’m so moist over this car that I squelch when I walk. Gimme Gimme Gimme.

Another lame German POS. When will people wake up and stop wasting their money on these things? You want quality, reliability and performance? That is what Cadillac is for people

Since it’s no more powerful than the current BMW 130i, how much is the S3 going to cost? Anyone hear whether BMW is planning a 135i?

Why do the tail lights differ from the A3’s?

Hmm… an incredibly sharp handling, fiery and stylish german hot hatch, or a wallowy gutless flimsy whale.. let me think. The previous generation S3 was a stormer, with the only downside being the slightly vague steering – not inaccurate, just not as communicative as it should have been. I have no doubts this one will be brilliant, especially if it gets the steering weight and precision of the evil new RS4

Cadillac, my ass…

Those are Euro A3 tail lights, maybe the US A3 like the US Rabbit gets different tail lights to the EUro versions

The lights are different because here in Europe we get a choice of 3 door or 5 door(sportback). The 3 door has the lights in the pic and the 5door has the other style.

B-E-A-UTIFUL…if only it would come here.

with the top end A3 already surpassing the 40,000 dollar mark it would seem that a loaded S3 would be extremly close to the S4 in terms of price. which, IMO isn’t a good thing

Please Audi, if you’re reading this. Bring it to the states. That’d be my next car.

Audi needs to build cars here in the states to offset the high exchange rate and build the A3s here….I think with a slightly lower price they could do even better. VAG probably doesnt want this car to encroach upon the GTi or upcoming R32 that it is based off of.

Funny that anyone actually likes this pile of German crap when there is a thread about the Opel Vectra wagon coming to the states that everyone is going to want.

Audi is on its last legs in this country. They’ll be out of business because nobody buys their crap

#20,
Why is audi setting new sales records in the US? If you think audi is going to go out of business, then you should get ready for dissapointment. Btw, GM is about to be eclipsed by toyota as the #1 auto maker.

nice

long live jtg.

I want to appoligize to everyone for saying the same thing all the time. Its not my fault that I really don’t know anything. You are all probably saying to yourselves – isn’t Opel German? Wasn’t there a recent article saying Audi is setting record sales? Isn’t GM the company who’s bond status is rated as junk? Oh well, I was told GM is the best, and because I am incapable of independent thought, I continue to believe it. So if you read anything else from me, just ignore it. It is worth your time.

i would also like to add that I have spent the last 4 years of my life doing palates so i can one day reach my goal of orally pleasing myself. ooh yea and GM for life!

I can auto-fellate, you just have to lose weight and stop being a fat michigander

Bring this to the states please.

might as well STOP hoping for this car, will NEVER happen here in the US. Name one good selling hatchback that has had any kind of success in the US. you will quickly run out of namebadges cause there are pretty much none. Plus this car would eat the hell out of GTI sales and even though they try to do their own thing, no way would and niche market GTI have to deal with famliy competition

We all want what we can’t have. Cash money, this car comes to the states, who is the first guy in here that’s like:

“$46K for this? I’m gettin’ a 335i with 300 hp instead.”

“S3? Yeh, whatever. I’m waitin’ for the RS3.”

“Forget it. They screwed up the taillights.”

i want this car

Me want badass car.

IMO, it will sell if they (1)BRING IT OVER (2)keep the base price around 36K,loaded under 41k
I’ll take that over a 328i/330i anyday(335 starts at 43k)

Who allowed an old man “caddy driver” to make comments on a comment page about the S3? I’ll take the GTI/R32 over the overpriced S3 any day.
