Audi A3 Sportback (5-door)

I found this on AudiWorld and I thought it looked pretty good - except for the Toureg-copy rear lights. What do you guys think?

Front:

Rear:

Comes with a new 2.0 liter turbo'd to 200 hp and ~205 ft.lbs torque (@ Audi typical low 1800-5000 RPM)

I think that's what it is. There is also a 3-door version which I believe to be a VW R32 (golf) with an engine swap (and a differentiating exterior treatment).

i'm not sure what it is about the golf... it's one of the only hatchbacks i like... i can totally see myself driving it.

I'm not a fan of the mini cooper which kinda resembles the golf... but i like the golf and dislike the cooper...

oh well.

This car will give the all-wheel-drive Subaru WRX , Saab 9-2X Aero ( a rebadged WRX) and VW R32 some good compeition...especially if Audi gives it the Quattro and S3 packages.

(See also my thread on the Saab 9-2X)
