The combination of options and packages has changed slightly.

Just configured an S-line A3 Quattro for $37,700. Damn a Prestige A4 Avant with Sport package is only $2k more!

Just configed a 2.0T Quattro similar to what I have now, roughly $3k more than what mine cost. Gotta say that no Sprint Blue and no more titanium pkg is just weak. Come on Audi N.A., what are you doing?

$35,550 for the A3 I wanted in pearl white

Quattro /w Cold Weather S Line and Magnetic Ride

Now to try emotionally detaching myself from my B5 S4

Does anyone know if the S3 260 hp 2.0T engine is going to be available in the US or are we only getting the A3 with the 200hp 2.0T with "S-Line" trim (bumpers)?

It's not listed online, but I know car companies like VW won't list the R32 until you can order them.

I want a White 6spd manual 2.0T quattro soooo bad!!!! But I know we can screwed here in the US

The S3 and it's engine will not be coming to the US. The best is 200 hp 2.0T Quattro and then doing the upgrade yourself with the AWE or APR K04 turbo kit which will net you much more than 260hp with oem turbo components. Some serious dough to do this considering the price of the S-line Quattro.

rumors are saying that the next "gti-r" or r32 may be getting the s3 engine
if thats true its going to be one heck of a car for a few grand cheaper then an a3

Looked into the 2009 GTI-R and looks like you are right. Gets the 265hp 2.0T and all wheel drive. Looks like it will be the best for us guys here in the US to pick up.

If only Audi would bring the 2 door S3 to the US

Audi wake up!

We'll be able to get vw GTI-r with a 2.0T 265hp engine, awd and DSG but the best audi will give you is an A3 with the old 2.0t and im guessing there wont be a big price difference between the 2.
