Default when is the 2.0T 6spd quattro A3 coming?

when i was at my dealer like 3 months ago, one of the sales people said that it'd be coming in may, well i thought he was on crack then, and its june and still no a3 2.0Tq so im thinking he was ;-)

anyways, my new car in a few months will either be an A4 or an A3, but only an a3 if its a 2.0T quattro 6spd...so im hoping someone knows if/when one's coming over

Default Pigs aside, isn't that what the S3 is: a hot rod 2.0T with Quattro....

I would guess that unless the S3 makes it to the United States, and there is specutlation both ways, then the two liter turbo & Quattro won't be united in the A3 on these shores.

Default All depends on drivetrain certification.

Which is unlikely, given the state of things right now . . . .

I can see the S3 being a possiblity, but as Aietrie_Patrone said, it is not coming to the US anytime soon.

The only justification I can see for Audi to bring over a 2.0t sportback 6mt quattro is if there is sufficient demand / sales of 2.0t units when the TT is released, coupled with high sales of A3s.

Default If it ever does, will you all be annoyed?

Will you trade your fronttrack the first chance you get?

I should ask this question on the first gen TT board. Plenty of people bought the 180 hp front-wheel version before the 225 hp TTQ came out. I wonder how they felt...

Annoyed? Hell no, I'll buy one and ditch our A4!

Default In the case of the TT, both quattro versions (180 and 225) were known to be coming to the US.

Rather different situation than the A3, where the 2.0Tq remains in the wishful thinking category.
