Saw a bunch of those--and the S3, which is very nice--in Greece last summer. A very attractive hatchback.

But are they bringing the three door here? I heard only the ugly five door was coming to the US. Also, it got the new Audi vertical nose. The pictures you posted are a couple of years old.

As for performance, all I know is what I read in EVO. They say the S3 is moderately fast, too heavy, but very luxurious for a hatchback. They're not bringing the S3, are they?

So, look for 1) "new" Audi styling, 2) good power, but lousy power to weight ratio, 3) a really nice interior, 4) a price well north of $25k.

Not really in the same class as the more minimalist, hard core STI and EVO. Kind of like the Golf R32, which was "reviewed" here recently.
