The shape isn't nice imo, but the mod to the headlight makes it a 'new' Audi.. but what is happening with the 3 door and sportback? Please don't tell me the next A3 3 door/sport back will look like this...
The head and tail lights looks better than a 1series though, body shape isn't very handsome, looks very VW.

Audi A3 Cabriolet Makes World Debut -- But You Won't See It Here
GYOR, Hungary — The hoopla surrounding the world premiere and production launch here of the 2008 Audi A3 Cabriolet was tempered by the official word on Friday that the German automaker's latest convertible will not come to the U.S.
"The A3 Cabriolet will not come to the USA or Canada, simply because the three-door A3 coupe also isn't certified for the USA," Christian Bokich, Audi of America manager of product and technology communications told Inside Line in an e-mail.
The first compact cabriolet from Audi goes on sale in Europe in the spring with four turbocharged direct injection engine options. They include two gas and two diesel engines. The performance range extends from 105 horsepower to 200 hp. The S tronic dual-clutch gearbox is optional, while a six-speed manual transmission is standard on engine versions from 140 hp upwards.
The four-seater will come with either a semi or fully automatic top. The rear seatbacks can be folded down for better storage. Two trim levels are available: Standard or Sport. The Sport model bundles 17-inch aluminum wheels, a sports suspension that lowers the body by 0.6 inch, a three-spoke leather sports steering wheel and sport seats. An upscale S line exterior package and S line sports package will be available later in 2008.
Prices will be announced later, Audi said.
What this means to you: This is one Audi convertible you'll have to drool over from afar. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent

Audi Spells Out Details on 2008 A3 Cabriolet
INGOLSTADT, Germany — Audi AG unveiled everything you'd ever want to know about its 2008 A3 Cabriolet on Monday, but there are still no plans to bring it to the U.S. market.
The first compact cabriolet from Audi goes on sale in Europe in the spring with four turbocharged direct-injection engine options. They include two gas and two diesel engines. The performance range extends from 105 to 200 horsepower. The S tronic dual-clutch gearbox is optional, while a six-speed manual transmission is standard on engine versions from 140 hp upward.
In late November, Christian Bokich, Audi of America manager of product and technology communications, told Inside Line that the A3 Cabriolet will not come to North America because it isn't certified for the U.S.
In the meantime, Audi AG issued a complete list of details about its compact cabriolet. The A3 Cabriolet convertible top comes in two versions: a semiautomatic soft top with two layers and a fully automatic, three-layered acoustic top. In both versions, a high-pressure pump and two hydraulic cylinders move the top. It opens in 9 seconds and closes in 11 seconds. The acoustic top can be opened and closed while driving up to 19 mph.
A standard wind deflector comes in the Ambition line.
The cabin gets a standard four-spoke steering wheel. A leather cover is optional. The Ambition line offers a modified slip-proof leather sports steering wheel with a three-spoke design. Leather seats are optional. Cabin touches include decorative inlays in pearlescent granite in the Attraction line or inlays in aluminum, burr walnut, micrometallic silver and Vavona wood.
The A3 Cabriolet includes standard storage in the center tunnel with a 12-volt outlet. The cabriolet gets an expandable trunk with capacity up to 23.8 cubic feet. Daytime running lights are standard.

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles
headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the
Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th
century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded
by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW
and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932.
The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto
Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
