As long as they still OFFER a manual, we're safe.

Audi...please do something with those freaking wheels. It kills the car.

Posting to see if there's a resemblance

Edit: Yep definitely a resemblance there. Obviously the Audi is of higher quality.

We prefer X6M's here ... or maybe an X3M in this case ...

Coming to a U.S. dealer near you?

Why is this a wagon?

A3 is my least favorite Audi, more than any seems like a fancied up VW.

I'm sure those seats won't make it here because of fat Americans, oops, I mean, side airbag laws.

Not all doom and gloom for manual:

Quote:

Even though manual transmissions have been in decline for decades, a new EPA report shows that 6.7% of new vehicles sold this year are equipped with a stick. Sadly, it's the highest percentage in the last five years .

For the first year since 1991, the percentage of cars sold with a manual transmission increased by more than 1% according to an EPA report on fuel economy issued this month. Although they are merely preliminary numbers this could be an indication of the rise, or at least the survival of cars with manual transmissions.

The EPA report shows 3.9% of trucks and 9.1% of cars were sold this year compared to 45.8% and 19.9% respectively 20 years ago. The 6.7% segment of cars sold so far this year is the highest percentage since 2005. While Ford and Chrysler's percentage of vehicles sold with manual transmissions was lower than the 6.7% average, GM's percentage of vehicles sold with a manual was 7.2%.

Stock RS seats that have been around or 6 or 7 years already in cars like RS4 and RS6 etc
