Power isnt that impressive (77KW) but this car could sell like hot cakes at 4.5L per 100kms.

That's crap, just as the Prius! Give me the 165kW diesel version instead. I can easily live with 7 l/100km :)

Sure it will at $40K Even Audi reckons it will only sell a small number.
People need to be aware of all the other nasties that come out of a diesel car.

Look at the pollution ratings and diesel cars are usually at the bottom of each class.

The Hyundai i30 CRD does better I think....that 1.9l engine is ancient technology.

they're not hubcaps, they have a purpose...
Aerodynamically, the A3 Sportback 1.9 TDI e improves its resistance to air with a lower ride height and special plastic wheel covers
haha i'd be ripping them off and sticking 18s on it.

It's like the Civic hybrid, got the aerodynamic body and flat wheels for more fuel saving, but looks terrible!!!
Hubcaps make great frisbees!!!

Well, I was addressing that...they don't look like they're a special design to reduce drag or anything......they look like stock hubcaps which can be found on the base models in EU.
