                    A bunch of people have sent me links to reporting around a “bombshell” study from Europe.

Unlike most of the competition however the A3 still has a practical and usable back seat and a surprisingly large trunk. The best part however is that a nicely equipped A3 Cabrio can be yours for under $40K.
