Default News/Rendering of 2011 A3 on Autocar

The news are credible, but I wonder where the rendering comes from:

It looks like they just did a little photoshopping on the new A4 Avant. It does make sense though from a current Audi design perspective. It's too bad (to me) that the A4 is basically the same as an A6 now but I've no problems with an A3 sedan as long as the hatch sticks around.

It's certainly more interesting than the new GTI (though theoretical versus actual) though a little "busy" for my tastes.

I seriously doubt that wheel/tire/fender relationship will make it to production.

Otherwise, if correct, it's a nice, progressive design. I'm not sure about the headlight design which seems to be overly dramatic.

Wow, could they plan any more engine combinations? are they really going to offer 6 different engine styles!?!?

Anyway, great post, thanks!

I agree the headlights are a bit dramatic, but this may just be what convinces me to turn in the Allroad for something a bit smaller.
