Petition: Bring the A3 2.0T Quattro to the United States
I've never petitioned for anything in my life, so this is a first. This will most likely have little to no impact on any decision making processes at AoA, but what the hell.
I already emailed asking them to bring it over, just thought that I'd take it one step further. Go ahead and let it be known that you want the Quattro version of the A3 2.0T, and while you're at it, indicate which transmission you think that you would buy (I guess put "yes" for both if you don't know which one you want).

Re: It'll never happen until Audi starts building both DSG and MT versions.
That 80% figure seems to be about the US average for slushboxes in general. Not sure it really tells you all that much, plus 2/3 of the A3 line is DSG, which will skew the numbers as well. If you want Quattro you HAVE to get DSG, again, skewing the numbers.
Give people a choice, and the numbers will change. Look at the number of slushbox 3-series cars BMW sells, they haven't abandoned the three-pedal set up yet.
I know I don't want to spend the extra $$ for an A3 Quattro, IMO the A4 avant with Quattro is a better deal. And, as I've said before, a FWD Audi is a colossal waste of money, IMO.

Re: I believe the 80% figure predates the availability of the 3.2.
I've seen stats that show 95% of cars sold in the US are slushboxes, so more A3's are sold with a manual than the US average. This would further support a market for an A3 2.0TQ even if it were manual only.
