Nice backgroundCouple of photos from LinkedIn.....
My guess is that Audi will give discounts sooner than normal. My reasoning is the growing threat of corona virus. You only have to look up reports out of China. Their car buying market has dropped by 95% in the last six months. If this happens in the UK they won't be able to give them away. All manufacturers will be offering huge enticements to get people into their showrooms...Not good timing at all to launch a new model.
That may well be. Fact is it isn't a good time to be any car builder.. Would you bother to go and buy a car while this virus is growing around us...I know I won't.Factor in this new model not being to many loyal Audi buyers taste, cheaper materials & higher starting prices & Audi could be facing a difficult sell with this car. VW screwed up with the Golf on the outside, Audi have screwed up on that nasty interior. This could cost them big time with many owners turning to other brands who have moved things on.
Also throw in EV; little demand for it imho yet they are forced to build them due to tightening CO2 regs and the 2035 date for the UK.That may well be. Fact is it isn't a good time to be any car builder.. Would you bother to go and buy a car while this virus is growing around us...I know I won't.

It’s your eyes that need testing mate. The Merc interior is miles better than what BMW and Audi are offering, where it falls down is the quality of some of the materials
If you cant afford it dont buy ....simples
I like it...the dash is an evolution and not an A35 AMG disaster and the back end of the hatch looks better and I like the new bonnet/grill design. The saloon should look even better.
Lots of pros and cons on the interio. The cons (plastic, cheap etc.) are based on some pretty **** photos/videos. The proof in the pudding is go and see one in a showroom and then make your judgement call. It is the same thing for a colour of a car, you have to see it. Frankly, I like the integrated dash look with good forward vision, no stuck on IPad, and the vents are OK.
My S3 is in for service today and I have a 19 plate Q3 Sport Courtesy Car and to be honest the touchscreen dash is alright - It all blends in nicely and the A3 looks slightly slicker as well - Yes it's covered in fingerprints but that is the way all the cars are going because the younger generation expect it, so you just have to roll with it or buy something older I'm afraid.
Our old pool car - Mercedes A Class (before the new dash) had fingerprints all over that Ipad screen which wasn't even touch sensitive anyway but people used to get in and start poking at it.
The 'unintelligent human' persona, the advertisers and marketers dream customer...
Audi CEO - 'Hey customer, we are going to charge for the oxygen inside the cabin from April'
Thick customer - " Yes thats ok, I can afford to pay for the thin air, gladly, I'll even bend over and lube up for you ready'
Agree. This if they'd gone down the IPad stuck on the dashboard look of the Merc, that would have killed the A3 for me.

If it's too expensive for you then it's not the car for yourself look elsewhere simple

I think you need to consider you get back what you give out mate and if you give it you have gotta be able to take it
Stop intentionally trying to rub people up the wrong way and I am sure they will return the respect

Yep . Manufacturing is definitely on the decline.... @jassyo06.... C'mon mate...It's only a commercialI work in car manufacturing, the last 18 months to two years have been bad, this is just another blow, especially if a lot of your market is in China and your other components are from China. Bad times indeed to be in manufacturing IMO.
Looking at different videos I really like the flared fenders with no indents. A way more aggressive stance is achieved with those flared fenders and a lowered height than the 8V FL
Oh l can give it out and take it ....water aff a ducks **** mate....you bought a Mercedes and I'll buy another S3 saloon that's fine and dandy its our choice and personal taste..... but the keyboard warriors on here are not required.....non constructive and have no interest in the car.... where were they before yesterday on this Thread.......????

Not the car for you then...stick with your B9 or do one over to Mercedes
Do one trollIs there a rule that only folks that own, want or have ordered the new A3 can chat about it? I must of missed that rule, have you got a citation?
its a discussion ABOUT the new dogs dinner A3, you do not have a monopoly on discussion i am afraid, as much as Audi may like you to considering you’ve admitted you would pay for the air inside your wheels if Audi charged you for it.
Do one troll
Anyone know a popcorn delivery service

You need to have a look at one first hand mate - the A class dash is incredible
I test drove an A35 AMG. Initially the tech looked fantastic. But after a couple hours, the novelty wore off. Much preferred the interior of my S3 when I got back in it.
Impressive, but not for me.
