I would be very happy with a A3 quattro with the old 5 cylinder turbo motor,<br>like in the old S4 220KW Chipped! (295)HP

The A3 quattro exits, with a stock power of 180 bhp. Try it, and decide afterwards if you really need that 295 BHP! I bet no.

Yes, the A3 1.8T Quattro with 180bhp exists, but next spring the S3 will be released. With the 225bhp engine from the TT it will be a blast to drive.

<br>And the A3 does not exist, nor can we try it, in our world. Therefore, it is natural for it to be on a wishlist, and things on wishlists are always subject to modifications because it's all in the imagination anyways.<p>To be fair, I have sat in an A3. However, I was not in this (my) world when I did. Have fun with the logic :0<p>Todd W

Audi needs to avoid what I call "Expanding BMW Syndrome." Have you noticed just how many models they have these days? It's as bad as GM!<p>Audi feels the A3 would be too similar to the Golf, and wouldn't really match the image they're aiming for here in the US of A. I'd go along with that. Since the A3 and the Golf are basically the same, everything you'd want to to do an A3 you can do with Neuspeed or ABT's help to a Golf.<br>

what about a 3.0L V8 twin turbo diesel with +250 bhp and +450 Nm in the next A4 ???

and it was MUCH better looking than the Golf. To hell with the "expanding BMW syndrome" stuff! Bring the car here to the 'States & let the marketplace decide; I bet they'd sell well.
