there has to be a market for the car. if the auto manufacturer decides that he cannot make any money bringing the car over they will not. it could also not be street legal over here for one reason or another.

yea but the 318 hatchback from BMW really sucked when it came out and there is a lot of hatchbacks across united states so the A3 might not do too well, thats why i think they should bring only about 10-15 thousand to test out see how they sell

The 3 door A3 would compete with existing markets of too many VAG cars already here in the US and Canada. Think about it - how much market share would such a move grab for Audi. Very little. Present Audi and VW owners might actually go to that car, but that does nothing for the company's profits (it might even hurt profits).

I can't see a hyundai or honda hatchback owner upscaling to a pricier A3. The majority of people in the west buy hatchbacks cuz they are less expensive. The A3 is an expensive hatchback.

The sportback wagon will do better because there is a larger BMW and Mercedes market to steal from, not to mention even the Mazda6(or even Mazda3) wagon. Sport wagons are back in style anyways - younger people are actually buying them, dude.
