So in the US we only get the 4 door A3. the US A3 sportback is still a regular A3, audi just decided to tag on the "sportback" name in the US because "hatchback" and "wagon" tend to turn off US buyers.

In fact, in 2005 there wasn't the A3 in the USA yet (introduced the following year). So a product placement car borrowed from Europe
