Default Where to find an S3 in Canada

Could someone please explain to me why we don't get the infamous S3 in Canada? Whats the deal? Is there a way to ship an older one from Europe like the guys shipping older Nissan Skyline from Japan to Canada. When did they start making S3? I want one!!!

Sure you could tune an A3 to surpass an S3 but it would still be a four door hatch. Just the look of the 3 door and it's small wheel base plus quattro, well that just screams out Woo Hoo!!!

as far as difference between s3 and a3s-line is a bigger turbo, recaro seats amongst other things. itd be awesome if you got one!

They were also available in Mexico and NAFTA may have a hicup that would let it pass as a normal A3??

Audi also just announced the new A3 sedan, looks good to me. And there will probably be an S3 in Canada early next year!
