2013 Audi A3 To Only Come In Sedan Form For U.S Market

"We decided not to take it," said Audi of America CEO Johan de Nysschen, regarding the Audi A3 hatchback. The Detroit Bureau quotes Audi's head man in the USA stating that not only will we not get an A3 hatch, the sedan version won't share a single body panel with the Euro two-box version. Our A3 will likely be along the lines of the B5 A4, which arguably pulled Audi out of the "unintended acceleration" era and into the "coveted aspirational brand" phase in America. de Nysschen thinks that sales of the A3 will triple, to 30,000 annually, once the sedan launches. If you must have a hatchback, the current model will be in production till 2013. World markets will supposedly get the A3 sedan as well now that everything has been finalized. But wagon fans in the U.S. are out of luck once again. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
