Yes indeed.
Nice car, but with leather, roof and tax it'll set you back $30K.
Americans won't pay $30K for a hatchback. Ask BMW and Mercedes

Re: US version Audi A3 - test drive
I dunno, I think it will fare better than either the Merc or the BMW.
Being a 4-door will help, and I think that it will have a nice niche.
They're not looking to sell hundreds of thousands of them - I think
they're looking at 20 - 30k. Too bad they don't offer quattro right off
the bat, though, I could see a lot of people looking to get out of
their small SUV's that would like the better gas mileage but still want
awd.... It's getting generally good reviews in the auto mags.
