Default A3 Cabrio update?

I spend most of my forum time on the C5 forum as an A6 Avant owner, but I saw in the new Autoweek that the A3 Cabrio is due "in 2008". Is there any news that says when the A3 Cabrio will arrive, e.g. late 2008 as a 2009 model, mid-2008 as a 2008 model or ???

I searched the archives but couldn't find anything authoritative. I've been considering selling my 350Z Touring Roadster to buy a Mini Cooper S convertible (the fact that it has a rear seat that will accomodate our large new dog is the real attraction), but an A3 Cabrio would probably make me wait.

Anyone have any news?

Default I think that the graphic showing the release dates was very wrong

They had the next A4 out in 2007 for example which we know is not true.

Id add a year and a half to each line in that list.

Default Likely see the G37 cabrio before the A3 (prob. cheaper too...)

Given the resounding success of the Q7 (and the way I see my fellow americans drive their Escalades at WOT despite $3++/gal), I don't think we'll be seeing many more A3 products here in the US or the A1 for that matter<ul><li><a href="http://www.topspeed.com/cars/infiniti/infiniti-g37-convertible-ar39487.html">http://www.topspeed.com/cars/infiniti/infiniti-g37-convertible-ar39487.html</a</li></ul>

Default Personally, I think it'll appear in late 2009 as a 2010 model at this rate.

I almost bought a MCS... it was neck and neck with the A3. But when I saw the Mini Clubman coming, I decided I'd wait a year to see how it turns out. Of course, the A3 may have grown on me too much by then. ;-)
