Default Saw an S3 with european plates today in Dallas...

I didn't get a chance to inspect it as it drove by me, but I definitely noticed the S3 badge. Not too bad for a pure hatchback. Don't know what kind of plates they were, but definitely foreign. Is Audi going to import them some day? What kind of specs do they have?

By the way, it was on the Southern Methodist University campus where I saw it.

Default A3 and S3 are slated for US intro once the new body/chassis is out

Current S3 uses same engine/drivetrain as 225 TT. I think they are only rated at 215hp tho.

Default I saw an M-B A-Class in Houston, it had diplomatic plates. You can bring some non-certified vehicles

in under special circumstance (diplomats, etc.) and with the understanding that they will only remani in the country for a certain amount of time.

Default I've seen the same one in Dallas and in the last 2 weeks, they seemed to be the hatchback of choice

in Southern France - other than the pedestrian VWs and Peugots, of course. Saw a lot of those Mercedes A Class thing-a-bobs - saw only 1 Audi A2- similar to that A class thing-a-bob

Default Nope S3 now same 225hp as TT - was 210hp which was just slightly less boost with same engine

A3 is a go on new platform - S3 will be considered but I doubt it will come here unless it's significantly different from the next MKV Golf 4Motion.
