A3 Sedan:








A3 2-door hatch:





The next-gen A3 is expected to be offered first with a tailgate before a trunked version comes along –
the three-door model leading the five-door, then the sedan and finally the soft-top convertible.

I sure hope a 4 door hatch is also planned.

 

The "Sportback" is a must imho, can`t see why they should stop producing it.
here are some more news on the next generation:


Next-Gen Audi A3 Will Feature 6 Different Powertrain Types:

regular gasoline and turbodiesel models, compressed natural gas models, gasoline-electric hybrids
and plug-in hybrids, and finally a battery-powered electric model.

The information was revealed by Audi engineering chief Michael Dick. He said the first models will be
the regular TDI turbodiesels and TFSI gasoline powered cars, most of which will offer 20 percent
fuel economy gains over the comparable outgoing model thanks to engine stop-start technology
and brake energy regeneration.

The others would be launched slowly in the years following the initial launch of the new-generation
Audi A3, including the battery-powered electric model, which will pick up the 'e-tron' label and has
already been previewed as a prototype.

Look out for a world debut of the new A3 at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show this September.

 

aren't they gonna give this thing like 400 hp? if they do "somebody gonna get a hurt real bad" for not giving the S5 that much.
