Audi's new ELR killer

As a current A3 owner who loves his car, I will check this out when it comes to Canada. I would not be surprised if this is available three years before gen 3 hits Canada, and could possibly 'tide me over'.

How can you kill what is already dead?

What is dead may never die.

I don't want either because they have dirty ICE's but I think I'd take the ELR on looks.

That was my thought, there's no need to kill the ELR, it was still-born. Nobody wanted it to start with.

seemed like a lot of effort to come up with a net positive message on the new A3 PHEV - starting at over $51,000 in germany.

From that article:

The car will only use battery power, up to a speed of 81 mph (the car has a top speed of 130 miles per hour in hybrid mode).

Wait. What?? A German car on sale in Germany for Germans with a top speed of only 130mph? Shocking! How is such a thing even possible, if you were to listen to all the Model S naysayers on here from Germany.

Good ackowledgement that even German car manufacturers recognize that a top speed of 130mph is fast enough for the Autobahn.
