It's official, says the blog of cars that are German. Audi will launch the new S-series version of its A3, the (wait for it) S3, in the fall of 2006. That means we'll likely get our first look at the Paris show in late September. V-dub watchers wonder how the $40,000 hatch will stack up against the upcoming, similarly powered VW Golf R36 (reportedly), which will likely cost a few grand less in the States. Maybe Audi will just bypass the US altogether, as it did with the previous version. Maybe that's for the best.

I honestly dont see how VW/Audi is going to keep the R36 and the S3 3.2 quattro from cross cannibalizing each other in the first place. Add the S3 to the mix and its just going to be a big fluster-cluck.
I never thought I'd read the phrase '$40,000 hatch'.
my ultra-mega-"tuned" Golf in Need For Speed: Most Wanted smokes everything but the Gallardo ;) but yeah, $40K hatch, FFS!
