From the archives: 2005 Ann Arbor Rolling Sculpture Car Show {Autoblog}
Mar 12th 2007 4:14PM I grew up in ann arbor and am a freshmen at the U now, and the car scene is extremely small, but during Rolling Sculptures (and local Washtenaw Community College Car Show - who built among other things a Ford GT powered Ford Fivehundred which was featured in some large car magazines) there is some very cool stuff! But being the U of M, there are plenty of sorority girls driving around in X3s...

Audi hatches the new S3 {Autoblog}
Aug 1st 2006 3:26PM Well I do look at it from a performance stand point. I drive a STI so obviously performance is favored over a posh interior, but I wont argue that a WRX interior is better than an S4s, but you are comparing apples and oranges - heavy, nice, luxury car to lighter cheapers go-fast car.
Have you ever been in a Mazda3? The interior for a 20 grand car is absolutely astounding, with high quality materials, good construction, and the look of a more expensive car.
My POINT is, the whole idea of "S" is power and go-fast-ness. People looking for this may be content with an arguably more reliable and better looking Mazdaspeed3 for atleast 10,000 dollars, probably closer to 20,000 when you add all the accessories to the audi, cheaper. That being said, as you mentioned, the age old battle of cheep speed vs (overpriced) prestige's end is not in sight. Please don't call me "ignorant" for expressing an opinion. And if they bring this to the US it will be hugely unpopular; no one wants to pay $40+ thousand dollars for a hatchback (I would if its good, but I am in the minority of americans who like hatches).
I do applaud audi for doing more with the S division though; unlike with the poseuer TT that still wont have a true sports car engine until 08....
Audi hatches the new S3 {Autoblog}
Aug 1st 2006 1:22PM Sure its got Quattro, but it is an expensive Mazdaspeed3. Sure the interior is a little better and it has a cool steering wheel, but the power/weight ration has to be similar or in the mazda's favor.
Isn't 45 grand at or near the S4s pricetag?

Apr 8th 2006 9:47PM If you get to keep the warrantee they most certainly arent. Especially considering the STI is one of the fastest cars on the road even unmodified. You gotta pay to play.
