Next Gen 2021 Audi A3 Sedan Debut

Navarra......
Yesss, my old one with chrome looked great, classy colour.

Was never a fan of Ara when I had my FL but it has grown on me.

I suppose Voodoo isn’t bad either.

Navarra is a stunning colour and rapidly becoming an all time great IMHO! It’s the only colour I’m considering for a potential replacement on my current A4.

Good video. Just goes to show how much better the old car is compared to the new.

Same story with MK7 & MK8 Golf

Never been keen on the A7. Back end looks just wrong to me. For the same money, I'd take an RS6. Much cooler. But £119,000????? Wow. Just Wow.
 
By the end of the year Audi will have released all the available colours for the A3/S3 Plus all the model and interior trim/alloy options.....dont see there being an S3 Paint only colour like before...ie Estoril/Sepang/Ara...but maybe a Vorsprung paint ONLY ...On the German configurator you cannot chose the option of an Exclusive Paint Colour on the Edition 1 models.....Python Yellow exterior paint comes with yellow interior stitching in the S3 Sportback ONLY.Tango Red exterior Paint Colour comes with Red interior stitching in the S3 Saloon ONLY.....you cannot get an Edition 1 S3 in any other colour

That does seem a lot extra (£6k) for not a huge amount. Ok, matrix, alloys and the Carbon bits cost, but some light projectors, stickers and darkened glass with above should not add up to that much.
 
That spoiler just reminds me of the m performance spoilers you can get for the BMWs lol

As well as what youve already mentioned,Your getting 19's,carbon door mirror covers,carbon duck tail spoiler,black painted roof....all a bit tacky looking barring the alloys too my eyes

If l am honest l would have the carbon interior trim over the standard aluminum ....

I'm just wondering watahell the RS3 gonna look like LOL

It’s gonna be epic
Enough for me to carry on the ordering process
Or else I’m out as I’m loving my a4 cheap Sline at the mo
Especially as it’s returning 55-60 mpg on a good journey
It’s cost me £60 in fuel

Agreed the black roofs are NOT a good or appropriate look for an Audi or it’s usual target market.

Their target market is whoever will buy one, from my experience a good 80% of Audi’s on the road are the standard Sline variants and they are driven by chavs thinking they are middle class because they have an Audi on PCP:chuncky:

No age limit on being a chav:thumbs up:

I just found the comment around black roofs not being in keeping with Audi's target market.

Audi's are driven by everyone, they are as common on the road in some variants as a Ford Focus

No worse or different from the “black roofs are not appropriate for an Audi” and don’t fit the type of people who Audi are trying to attract. That comment is clearly stating that a black roof is something applied to a “cheaper” car and no “posh” Audi driver would be seen dead driving such a vehicle.

All I pointed out is that if Audi are trying to attract this type of driver, in my experience in general of Audi’s on the road they are doing a very poor job of it.

My daughter has recently bought a 2017 model A1, Floret Silver with a black roof, and I think it looks really smart.....each to their own opinion lol!!!

Forgot about the A1....it all depends on the car l suppose smaller cars are less serious cars.....So they suit a bit of jazzing up.....Suitable cars....Black Roofs Matter.....lol but a new to the market 8y S3 Saloon really doesnt in my opinion.....a Pano roof....is enough

I think it also depends on colour. A lighter colour like floret, with pano and black roof and black pack would look awesome I reckon. But what do I know I drive a SUV

I don't get the configurator, with the 35tfsi you can't have the memory seats and with all models you can't have the flat bottomed steering wheel with the drivers assist. Two options I would like to have....
