Why can't they bring the S3 to the U.S? I want one so bad.

No S3... I went for an R32

Liked my A3, but the R32 is much more fun to drive. I would have gone for an S3, but Audi USA won't bring us any of the great Audi's to the US.

Yeah, I think a lot has to do with perception, a 50k hot hatch with only 275 hp?

It would sell to Audi/VW enthusiasts, but in reality it isnt a wise decision. Especially when VW has a great rep with the Golf/GTI/R32 series. The new GTI-R will essentially be an S3.

The TTS will take the place price wise and probably model wise of the 3.2 TT so that at least makes sense in the long run. Start offering 2.0T Quattros, discontinue the 3.2 and offer the TTS.
