#4 of 9 my guess is... by kurtamaxxxguy May 12, 2006 (4:38 pm)
ccd1, '06 allocations are apparently drying up and the '07's have not yet arrived. So Audi dealers could be running dry for awhile.   Toyota like any other car vender has trouble with first year reliability of a new model. I'd give the new Rave4 at least a year to gel. Then again if you have an outstanding Toyota dealer that may not be as big an issue (ours are not that great).   Hopefully Audi will make sure the dealers are well, but not over, stocked with A3's for '07.   Incidently, I got to drive the 3.2 twice during a recent Audi show in LA. Comments are over in the A3 forum. What I saw pretty much gels with Edmunds and C&D, though I could not drive anywhere as fast as they could as event was in choked urban area.

Replying to: ccd1 (May 12, 2006 2:41 pm) I would buy a Forester XT anytime over a RAV4. Much better handling, way better performance. You may also want to consider the Legacy GT wagon (auto only, unfortunately).   On the other hand, a FWD 4-door GTI (arriving at the dealers as we speak) may be all you need/want.... and may save you quite a bit of money, even with leather and sunroof, compared to the Subarus...   Then there is the extravagant R32 coming up soon... unfortunately, looks like DSG and 2-doors, only. What a shame. Replies to this message: kurtamaxxxguy (Jun 05, 2006 7:06 am) allhorizon (Jun 05, 2006 10:10 pm) kurtamaxxxguy (Jun 06, 2006 2:49 pm)

Replying to: allhorizon (Jun 05, 2006 12:31 am) AllHorizion, has VW decided to bring the R32 here for '07? They have been waffling back and forth on that for quite a while now.   If so, will be interesting to see how the R32 impacts the Audi A3, which supposedly __is__ the R32 with 2 more doors and Audi dress interior?   As for Subaru wagons, the Impreza WRX's a good small performer, especially the STI variant.

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Jun 05, 2006 7:06 am) All indications are that the R32 will definitely be arriving in the US, as a 2-door with DSG, and with the same 3.2VR6 as in Europe or in the A3. Ward's Autoworld puts it at July 2007. Personally, I think it could actually arrive a bit earlier than that. Replies to this message: kurtamaxxxguy (Jun 06, 2006 2:49 pm)

Replying to: allhorizon (Jun 05, 2006 10:10 pm) thanks for the update.   Do you think the A3 3.2 sales will drop off once the R32 is back? Of course it depends on what VW actually charges for R32 (in any event VW dealers should be in ADM heaven over it).   Will also be interesting to hear if R32 is more compliant over bad roads than 3.2 is.

Replying to: ccd1 (May 12, 2006 8:23 am) The Acura RSX would also meet your given criteria. The type-S is quite sporty. I drove a Honda Prelude for years (similar chassis to RSX) and never had any handling problems in the DC winters. I'm planning on buying an A3 in about a month, so I'm currently monitoring the A3 on-line stock at several dealerships in the DC metro area. There are several around, mostly with the sport package, a few base manuals, a couple with premium package.   Just a side note, Subaru Foresters, Legacys, and Outbacks are going for 2-5K under MSRP in the DC area right now (with rebate), makes them a very good bargain and cheaper than most comparable vehicles.
