Audi listened to their fans and enthusiasts and will be bringing over the new Audi A3 TDI Sportback to the US, with a debut at the 2014 New York International Auto Show.

A few nice tidbits from the press release:

The A3 TDI Sportback has an incredibly passionate and loyal fan base, this new version has been one of our most requested models since the announcement of the new A3 family

The A3 TDI Sportback is a premium, compact hatchback that pairs fuel efficiency and coupe-like looks with the utility of a crossover .

S Tronic gearbox, just like the previous A3 TDI Sportback.

Most likely FWD as they haven't found a way to stuff both the engine, gearbox and Haldex set up in the smaller A3 Sportback package vs the new Golf TDI 4Motion Sportwagen.

I'm hoping that now Audi USA will be bringing both the TDI and e-tron Sportback that there is a sliver of hope that we'll see an RS 3 Sportback. My guess is that we'll see it as a sedan in the US.

Soon it's automatic & front wheel drive...I could live with one or the other, but both? No reason to trade in my mk4 Jetta TDI yet.
