And this is due to the fact that the race version of the Sports Coupe 2002 won a lot of DTM (German Touring Car Series) races.

Audi chairman Rupert Stadler, has announced that the company’s new A3 Cabriolet will be built at its plant in GyÅ‘r, western Hungary.
“The GyÅ‘r site has excelled in the production of premium vehicles during recent years … therefore it is optimally suited for the assembly of a new model alongside the Audi TT Coupe and the TT Roadster,†Audi AG said in a statement.
“The market launch of the A3 Cabriolet is scheduled for next year, just in time for the start of the convertible season,†Stadler told a news conference. He declined to elaborate on planned output figures, but said production of the new car in Hungary was another step towards hitting Audi’s target of making 1.5 million cars a year on the group level by 2015.

Germany - Four interlinked rings: this was the symbol of the merger of Saxony’s four car companies Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer that led to the formation of Auto Union AG precisely 75 years ago, on 29 June 1932.
By the late 1930s, one in four cars in Germany was built by Auto Union AG and sported the four-ring badge on its radiator grille. Auto Union AG was created as a result of this merger, becoming the second-largest car manufacturer in Germany. To this day, the four rings remain the signet of AUDI AG. Thomas Frank, Head of Audi Tradition, explains: “The four rings embody one of the leading international suppliers of exclusive cars and are a visible expression of brand identity and quality – while at the same time acting as a bridge between the past, present and future.”

This has to go down as one of our favourite VW commercials ever. The old guy’s a little creepy, but that superb Mk2 GTI makes up for it.
