That rear is a disaster...

It looks fine Audiholic. Just relax.

Watch out 1er convertible, this thing is already elegant

I don't really get it.
Is this the front of the new A3 or is it just a 2nd facelift?
I think it's quite late to bring out that car if it doesn't wear the new suite. how long have the A3 been in the market? 5 years?

It says "Camouflage Removed by Computer".

The A3 cabrio was supposed to be based on the next A3 according to my info.I will be a stupid decision if it has the same front with the current model.

Wow talk about boring. Audi is becoming the new Volvo. *yawn*

1er cabrio for me thank you.

If they came with a different design for the cabrio the hatch & SB would instantly look dated. So, IMO, the design will stay almost the same.

Perhaps with new Mk3 A3 the cabrio will get extensive facelift - to fit in the Mk3 A3 family better.


Same case with 1er coupe & cabrio: I wonder what will happen with these cars when Mk2 1er hatch arrives.





PS: today my coworker said Audi design could be labeled as "Triple B" (BBB): "Beautiful But Boring"

VW Eos for me , thank you.

I understand the logic in bringing out an A3 Cabrio. However I hope this will be a Mark III A3. Unfortunately I don't think it will be as the hatch would be surfacing first. However Audi have gone to great lengths in preparing the factory in Brussels/Hugary (can't remember where now) to build the new A3 Cab but from the spy pics new car looks more or less the same with different front and rear lights. Sure it will still look good as the finished product but 1er cab looks slightly better. Was expecting a bit more though especially with the cost savings of not developing a hard top convertible however with Eos already developed I doubt this would have been too expensive if that avenue had been taken.

Lets see what Audi will end up giving us with the final product ready A3 Cabrio
