Up until yesterday, the Audi USA website had pictures of the 2008 A3 on the A3 page. Now they're back to the 2007 model. And coincidentally, the old link to the Edmunds report on the '08 model is now dead--Edmunds now lists only the 2007 model again.

Why?

That's interesting. I saw the Audi web site had reverted the A3 headline text back to 2007... they never had the 2008 car specs up... just the headline. But that is strange why Edmunds took it down. However, Kelly Blue Book - kbb.com still has the '08 info.

Probably Audi management were asking themselves why are people requesting 2008 Audi A3's when we still have 2007 Audi A3's to sell?
Still the build your Audi A3 is not correct. Bi-Xenon lights without bluetooth should not cost $1500! Fix your web pages AudiUSA!

That's plausible. But I still wonder why the A3 got this schizophrenic treatment, whereas all the other Audi lines are still on their '07 models (except the TT, of course).

Anyway, I wish I could still get an '07. I scoured lots around the country for one that met my specifications (3.2, no options) but couldn't find one. So then I asked about special order, and every salesperson who responded said I can't order '07s any more, because now they're making '08s. Argh!
