Who the **** is cross shopping hot hatches with compact CUVs?  ???

This is a CUV?!?!?!? I thought it was a gussied up Golf......

Same platform.

Of course it's a CUV. Is an Atlas not a CUV? It's on the same platform too.

I think it's pretty close in size, just jacked up a bit.

And I wouldn't call it a Golf. Just uses the same platform as the previous gen Golf.

This basically is Audi's version of the current, smaller, VW Tiguan, based on pre-MQB Golf bits. Despite the stubby looks, the Q3 is a bit longer than the current Golf.

My $50k would be spent elsewhere.

No one would cross shop the Golf R and this Audi?  Why not?  Similar chassis, four doors, hatch-ass-end, AWD.

FWIW, the wife's family Friends are loaded... Incredibly so.  The oldest got a Q5 when she started driving, but then the Q3 came out and she wanted to downsize. She got the Q3 and "handed down" the Q5 to her younger sister.
