Editor’s Note: We are in some extraordinary times now. COVID-19 has caused many disruptions (to say the very least) and in terms of the automotive world, all industry and enthusiast events are on hold…but that doesn’t mean we have to stop learning.

Audi established the premium compact class segment with the A3 in 1996. The fourth generation of the success model is now being introduced on the market – sporty, digitalized and fully connected. Beneath the progressive design of the body of the new A3 Sportback lie many innovations from the full-size class, for example the infotainment, suspension, and driver assist systems.
Distinctive: design and lighting

Our friends at Audi know how quickly boredom sets in or how repetitive certain activities can get . I know we've cleaned the house several times and even my dog runs away whenever she sees us taking her leash off the wall. Audi released their coloring book earlier in the week and just yesterday, created virtual backgrounds for your daily (if not hourly) work Zoom video conferences.

The last time we feature an Auto Union 1000SP Coupé as a Find of the Day, it was located overseas and was a Thunderbird-esque red with a white top. This one is much closer and is silver with white leather. How close? Despite wearing Ontario tags, it's located in Pittsburgh, PA.

Way back in October, we featured Paul Walker's B5 S4 as a Find of the (Future) Day. In fact, we wrote three blog posts about his car as Paul was an icon in the automotive world (Find of the Future Day is Here: Paul Walker’s 2000 Audi S4 and AZ Euros Buys Paul Walker’s B5 S4). And this one makes number 4...almost as many as there are Fast & Furious movies.

Editor's Note: Let me start out with my disclaimer for the normal questions I get:
Yes, I know that the RS 4 Avant isn't sold in the States
Yes, I post articles on Audi models that we don't get because we're all Audi fans, right?
No...this isn't clickbait
With all of us practicing #socialdistancing, we turn to the web to keep us entertained and what is more entertaining than gazing at an Audi RS 4 Ava...

According to a report on Auto Zeitung, Audi, amongst releasing the facelifts on the SUV line in the fall of 2020, will be launching the Q5 Sportback. This will compete directly with the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé and the BMW X4. There is no word on whether the Q5 Sportback will be sold in the States but with our love of SUVs and crossovers, I wouldn't be surprised if it did make its way over. However with t...

When it comes to Mat Watson and getting his hands on the latest and greatest, you know it's going to be fun. In this video, he takes the wheel behind an Audi RS 6 Avant and puts it up against an AMG E63, a BMW M5 Competition, and a Porsche Panamera. If you're familiar with Mat, he puts them through a drag race, a rolling race, and a brake test.
So how did our favorite Audi do? Well...let's just say...

It's not a big secret around the office that I love S2 Coupes. From the squared-off bull nose to that rounded rear *shudder*. This one however gives me the vapors. A claimed 1,152hp, this S2 isn't a daily driver...or is it? Here's the ad (translated from German):

As it goes with test mules and spy photos, once a car has been seen… it tends to be seen again and again. Such is the case with the upcoming e-tron GT. We saw our first images of a production e-tron GT testing just last week, and now we have our second sighting.
