Oh, they do plan on bringing in the A3 Sportback as a hybrid, but who wants that vs. a diesel?
My wife also has an A3 5dr. She's really disappointed about the new A3 not offering a hatch form in the US, and when we were in Italy in October we already saw the new platform A3 (3dr and 5dr) running around
Maybe this "2 active tourer" could be the replacement for her car.

Back on topic, I agree the naming and branding is wrong for this car. And offering M-sport badging on this would be ridiculous. This is not motorsport inspired, motorsport heritage, motorsport anything.
