It wont come here. Sux It would cut into GTi/R32 sales. Read it in motor trend or something recently that we will NOT get the S3 here in the states. = Ghey. Jeller ---

> [@JaysGreenLX](#): > > True and true. > > I assume the lack of D-wheel has something to do with DOT regulations. I dunno about that. The VW GTI and GLI have a D-wheel. Its a little less extreme then the audi wheel i think, but it ain’t round. ---

No, it is. The GTI baaaarely has a D-wheel. It’s possible we’d get something simlar, but not to the extent that Europe gets. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/audi-s3-us-release-maybe/15584.md?page=1)
