Join Date: May 2004 Location: Long Island, New York Posts: 280 | Yes tthey will be avalible eventually i was actually about to update the thread with that info! They know for sure the quattro will be avalible next year, but there is no set time or price for a RS3 or S3. They believe the S3 will come in first with the RS3 not to far behind! The RS3 will be a close cousin to the R32 if not faster!

Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: Mississauga (Toronto) Canada Posts: 950 | WOW that is pretty steep for an A3. Add quattro to the mix and it'll be over 30K USD! I've always liked the A4 but once again, I find it a few grand to high for what you get.
I'd rather pickup a G35/350Z. Much more tunable, better performance and much better base OEM car should you choose not to touch the vehicle.
Other options in that price point are the BMW 325Xi (AWD) or Lexus IS300 which IMO, are much better vehicles.

I am surprised to hear the prices being quoted in North America for the A3. My wife has a 2WD Audi TT Coupe which is listed here in Australia at A$72,995 (equates to ~US$54,750), which I believe lists in the US in the early US$30k.
