It had Mexico plates, as weird Euro cars in Texas often do.

Good-looking car. Shame they don't sell it here, even though no one would buy it.

it might sell well if they marketed it as a MINI fighter.

Basically a golf for people with slightly more money here. Decent looking thing and a good car but always felt slightly dull to me.

I see stuff like that more than you'd think, I saw a VW CrossFox, a Seat Ibiza, and some kind of Daewoo (not very well versed in Daewoo models...) all within a very close time frame about a month or so ago.

The VW seemed pretty interesting though, looked a little funky in a cool way.

I saw an A1 earlier today! Couldn't safely get a photo but I did spy a Michigan manufacturer plate on the back.

What you guys in the USA need is the 1 series hatchback. Manual RWD Turbo hatch.

Oh right! I wanted to go, but had no money so i pretended it didn't exist. Its more expensive to me because im in Mexico ULY. I did go to the Grand Prix 2012 and 2013. This year i will watch from the TV for the first time.

I love it. I've grown to like the sedan, but the hatchback really need to come to the States.

The older hatchback has become reasonably popular and other hatchbacks seem to be thriving. I'm not sure why Audi chose now to make the A3 available only as a sedan.

Nope we're getting the S1 for that. That was the last corporate tidbit I got before I left Audi last year.
