No, the A3 isnt related to any of the current Audi's really (Well I guess TT by virtue of platform), it's the last early 2000's Audi still in production.

So underneath nothing has changed since the first a3?

I was impressed that a college's new Audi dimly lights the driver's area and all the controls and switches in red (doesn't affect your night vision), and I couldn't see where the light was coming from.

Cars have been doing this for donkeys, my Passat does this.

I really wish Audi would sort out the dull steering issues it's the major thing that's putting me off buying one as a next car.

No, the first A3 was 1996. The current A3 has been with us since 2003, and is the same 'generation' as the previous model A4, previous A6 and previous A8.

A4 = A4
A6 = A4 x1.4 scale
A8 = A4 x1.6 scale

3 Series = 3 Series
5 Series = 3 Series x1.4
7 Series = 3 Series x1.6

It works with other makes too.

Somebody post a picture of a 3 Series and a 7 Series (Current models). The family look is there but I'm not entirely sure its quite as obvious as the Audi thing.

Here you go, in fact after seeing these pics I'm kind of liking the lines of the front of the 3 the most:

7 series looks the best of the lot.

[TW]Fox · 21 Dec 2010 at 13:04

Front quarter view would probably be better.

Are you sure? The 5 is being DP'ed with the 7 taking the posh entrance and the 3 taking the essex, just in case you're not sure which is which

If the bottom one is the 7 i think it looks the best, im pretty sure

Weren't you supposed to be getting me a cheap 335i saloon? I'm sure I asked you once and took the fact that you never replied as a 'YES'

/looks over shoulder for NathanE

I have to admit, the whole "companies who take a model and enlarge it to make another" - isn't this what a lot of car companies do? The front ends seem to barely change from model to model, you're just changing the main body.

Sure, Audi are guilty of this, but I certainly think the 3, 5, and 7 series are quite similar, even going back over the decade.

The thing is that the Audis are literally identical. I honestly struggle to tell an A4 apart from an A6. And the new A8 look the same too, and they all look ****.

Whilst the F10 and the F01 may look similar, at least they look awesome too

Its the same with wives and kids, its a result when your daughter looks like your wife if the wifes a goodun, less so if she aint

Sorry NathanE forgot again, my bad

Mercedes have done this for years. There's a reason the SLR and SLK have a similar name.

Everyone's always done it for years, but that's not my point.

My point is that the Audis ALL LOOK THE ****ING SAME and it's lame.
There the A8 is identical to the A4, just bigger. It's rubbish.
I'm not sure why I'm getting angry, but I am :/
