The Audi design philosophy might best be described as, “One sausage, three lengths.” Take your pick: the A4, A6 and A8 all provide the same sort of delicious leather-lined bratwurst in various sizes, with various optional stuffing, at various prices. So say hello to their new ****tail weenie.
This is the A3 sedan, or limousine, as it’s described in Europe – which is a bit of a stretch, as it’s hardly a stretch… limo. It’s a new entry in the compact luxury market segment. An arena that Audi is quick to tell us is the fastest growing market segment in the world. Good for it.
My experience of “market segments” is that they’re the sort of thing that only PR people obsess about. Folks who might actually be interested in buying Audi’s wee nipper could end up cross-shopping it with everything from a fully loaded Honda Accord to a used 5-series BMW – who knows?
