The Audi A3 sedan concept is one of the sleeper hits of the Geneva Auto Show that's going on right now. Taking the A3's compact dimensions and making it a sedan produced something that's unique, and not an Audi-fied Volkswagen Jetta as one might fear. Instead, it looks like an A4 that's been left...

While it may not be as exciting as some of the performance and luxury models on display at this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the new Audi A3 Sedan Concept has an irresistible quality that’s hard to ignore. Perhaps it’s because the styling is reminiscent of the previous B5 Audi...

The latest evidence of that fact: the Audi A3 Sedan concept, leaked this evening ahead of its official Geneva debut. The A3 Sedan concept is a sleek and aggressive design...

The Audi A3 is one of those cars that, despite its inherent goodness, hasn't ever really caught on in the U.S. Maybe it's the high price, or the fact that it doesn't offer much more performance than a Volkswagen Golf, which shares the underpinnings. Then there's the hatchback-only shape, which is...

Sharing an engine with the TT-RS, the new Audi RS3 Sportback extracts 340 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque from its 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbo.

Confirming (or at least duplicating) reports from back in January, a new report out of Germany says the Audi A3 Sedan is still on track for the U.S. The plan is to leverage America's love for sedans and the potential for affordability with the A3 into more substantial sales figures. It's a pretty...

The Audi RS3 will use the engine from the Audi TT-RS to propel the A3 platform to new heights.

The 2011 Audi RS3 has already been captured by our spies, but now we have this preview rendering.

A base A3 2.0 TDI FWD S-Tronic runs $29,950. The VW Golf TDI we recently tested runs $23,090. In the review of that car we mentioned how the $7k discount for the Golf might be the way to go. After all, you can’t get this flavor of Audi with quattro AWD, which would differentiate the Audi diesel...
