Most have already driven the car in Europe, made similar comments, but will reserve their stateside chat for the stateside car. Remember Audi has softened the Q3 up a bit more for us in the engine, the transmission and the standard suspension settings. That's not to say they've mushed it up, but some might argue/debate they've 'refined' it for US tastes, or at least what their market research tells them our tastes are.
Heck, give me the RS, I'd be a happy boy, but my bride might not be so 'understanding.' So I kinda get what Audi's up to. We'll see...
