Oh the days when Audi was German for "lifeless, style-free mess of a car"...

Of all the white class car manufacturers around the world that I've watched grow over the years, Audi has (in my mind), by far, done the best job of repositioning and reinventing their way into a spot among the worlds best in automotive design.

The 08 Audi 3 is a perfect example of why. The consumer is presented with a car which is slick, European cool, both functional and fun with an overall appeal to a part of the market that many strive to be a part of. If I had a nickel for every time I heard one of my upwardly mobile yuppy friends exclaim "I really want that new Audi!"... well, I'm not sure how many nickels that is exaclty, but it's a lot.

On top of performance and aesthetic appeal, throw safety, convenient options and a reasonable fuel efficiency in the class and the Audi 3 continues to show legs in 08.

There's not much to say about something that's good.
