Default Petition to have Audi import the A3
Although Audi has stated it's intention of importing the new A3, every little bit helps!

Default I'm against it. It will only dilute the luxury/performance reputation of Audi.
What is Audi trying to compete with? The 2.0L golf? Honda Civic? Makes no sense.

Audi tried this once before in in '88-'92 with the Audi 80. Failed. Having a low baller car in a luxury brand in American does NOT work at all.

Only way to do it is to import the S3 only as a limited edition pocket rocket. That is the only way it will help Audi.

Default Re: I saw plenty of them (2 Gen)while I was in Europe recently..and
They are nice cars, especially the S3. They would sell in this country.

I think it's already decided, but at the price AoA wants, good luck selling the thing.
