Audi A3 Cabrio (Info, spy pics & impressions) - Page 3

If someone wants a coupe he can get an A5 coupe , if he wants a cabrio then he can get the A5 cabrio with cloth roof.
Audi's slogan is "Never Follow" so don't expect metal tops cause BMW, Volvo, VW, Peugeot, Renault and almost every other car maker in the world is using them.

Yes that's true cause it's lower and sleeker than the competition.

I don't like...
I think that A3 is unique in hatch plataform and not necessitate of others variations...

Audi A3 Cabrio will have a face that will have styling clues from both the current A3 and the next generation planned for 2009. The new requirements for pedestrian protection make it necessary to place the hood upwards.
Audi besides the well-known 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI engines also considers a new 1.2 lt TSI engine with 140 hp.

So basically what Audi is going is getting rid of the A4 Cabrio and replacing it with 2 cars. The A3 Cabrio will slot in under the old A4 Cab and the new A5 Cab will slot in slightly above the old A4 Cab?

Because it is vastly superior and from this time. Looks like Audi is stuck in the past.

Yes i agree who needs soft top roof in a cabriolet?

Wait a minute , there is an uber luxury cabrio of a carmaker that BMW owns and it still uses soft top.

Not to mention this one:

I guess BMW uses hardtop only in the cheap models.

Yeah, sure, that's why the 1series convertible will get a soft top.
