Audi/VW
I think one of the obstacles in bringing Audi models over is the relationship with VW. I have been dying to get a Passat with Synchro, as it is a bit roomier than the A4. I waited and waited as I heard the release date put on hold time and time again. After a year, I was told by VW USA they would not send it to the States.
Reason? Priced significantly less than a A4 quattro, it would eat into A4 sales too much.
It seems they are really concerned about balancing the sales of Audi and VW, and try and keep the appearance of Audi as a step up form VW in luxury, performance etc., when at times (Passat/a4) there is little differences between certain models.
My guess is that the A3/S3 would not fit the role of what Audi/VW USA have in mind for the image, and would eat into Golf/GTI sales too much.
Too bad, because we are often given excluded from having great cars.
