Isn't the A3 Sportback going to the states as the A3 e-tron plug in hybrid?
Yes, but hybrids make little sense for the majority of us who don't live in dense urban areas and do a fair amount of highway driving, or even suburban (80-90km/h) driving. Diesel sells decently where I live, partly because of good availability and near-parity on price with premium petrol. The previous A3 TDI sold reasonably well around here.
And whoever gets my X3 when I sell it in a few months is going to have to learn to live with l/100km for fuel consumption on the Board Computer cuz it's not user-configurable
