According to <em>AutoExpress</em>, Audi has no intention of offering a hard top 'vert on its models anytime soon.<br /><br />Power will come from the usual suspects, including the 3.2 V6, all the way down to the 1.6-liter FSI and diesels. At the low end, European customers can expect to pay around &pound;18,500, while those heavy with the pen in the check boxes will top the A3 convertible out around &pound;28k. Sales are expected to begin in 2008.<br /><br />[Source: AutoExpress]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/04/a3-droptop-to-drop-next-year/">A3 droptop to drop next year</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Fri, 04 May 2007 10:03:00 EST.
