IMO, it's going to be hard to justify buying this car above $30k when a prius can be had for at least $7k cheaper (assuming the price of this car starts at $30k) without all the bells and whistles. But we'll see when the official specs come out...
There was a rumor somewhere on here of a $26k base, which is lower than I'd expect. As for mpg, that sounds correct, but EU figures tend to be higher than US:

621 miles/12 gallons = 51.75 mpg

If they can get near that in EPA numbers, great; not sure how that would work as far as city/hwy though, since most hybrids (save GS 450h) have better city than hwy mpg.

They could actually use the 2.5L 4 cyl. from the Camry and the 6 speed manual.
oh my. Turbo 4 cyl with 6 speed! That would be epic!

I could see the argument that the A3 looks like a VW, but that's not exactly an insult.
Right cause euro cars are all the best and designed by michaelangelo and all Japanese cars are Toyota And all Lexus looks like Toyotas with hids.

I wouldn't say that Toyota and Lexus have the same design cues but I do agree that there is a distinctive style to both the Europeans and the Japanese
