Audi's recent S models are just some gorgeous machines. Unfortunately, the new S3 hatch won't be sold in the US. Why? WHY? Listen to this: 265 hp, 2.0 turbo 4-banger. Sweet. The reason why this won't be sold in the US: California emissions. The changes to the S3 would be too costly to meet California emissions standards. I can't stand it. California has just ruined it for us American drivers.
