hello new to the forum. was wondering when audi releases the new models 2019 a3's. I've looked online but all i get is "fall" Is there a time frame a little more definite?

Its always a bit variable for any mfg, but I would think anytime now if not out already.

I spoke to a local dealer in the Chicago about ordering an S3 and he said January.

They've built some FWD models, but no quattro A3s, S3s, or RS 3s have gone into production yet.

is this normal for audi? seems like new a3s wont be in dealers till early next year.

This appeared to be an exception for whatever reasons. My 2018 S3 have a build date of June 2017. So, there's definitely something that's causing the delayed build on 2019. Most manufacturers have their 2019s at dealers at or before Sept.

The reason is the inventory on A3's now is still plentiful, and the car has not changed between 18 and 19 other than a couple things

"and the car has not changed between 18 and 19 other than a couple things" I would love to know what those couple of things are.

A3 models at the Premium trim are now equipped with standard Audi smartphone interface and new standard 17-inch 5-arm-design wheels with all-season tires. Park assist, a new driver assistance feature that assists the driver with parallel and perpendicular parking by taking control of the steering while the driver accelerates, shifts gears and brakes, is now standard on the A3 and S3 Sedan at the Prestige trim. An updated Convenience package for the A3 Sedan and Cabriolet now includes Audi side assist and the LED interior lighting package, as well as high-gloss aluminum window surrounds for the Sedan. On the A3 Cabriolet, high-gloss aluminum window surrounds are now standard.
