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.
