I've been keeping an on the Q3. The date for it to come to the US is all over, everything from late 2013 to 2015. There's a chance next week at the auto show a real announcement could be made.

As for my thoughts on the styling, I don't like it. The front is a bit too vulgar for an Audi imo, it looks like a wanna-be rather than just being. My wife had an A3 that she loved and I just can't come up with how a Q3 which is mainly a lifted A3 would be a better car than an all-road. Maybe the Q3 will compete with the Juke, which I can't stand the styling of, and some against the X1 but I think the X1 has the edge until BMW castrates it for the countryman chasis swap, then the X1 and Q3 will be more comparable imo.

And yes, I agree with the fact that Audi's are numb cars but for wives that don't like to feel tire grip in their hands Audi's are a pretty good choice.
