Is <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/audi/">Audi</a> going to bring its Tiguan-for-the-country-club <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/q3">Q3</a> over to the United States? Originally the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/22/audi-confirms-q3-production-in-spain-but-decision-on-u-s-pr/">automaker said <em>nein!</em> to the idea</a> of a subcompact crossover on American soil, but now Audi is reportedly reconsidering offering the Q3 Stateside.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw">BMW</a> is getting ready to launch the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/x1">X1</a> here in the U.S., and Audi wants a cut of the North American subcompact crossover action. Since the American automobile-buying public is fairly wagon-averse, this move makes sense for Audi and could be a strong move to help it reach the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/30/time-to-shine-audi-looking-to-grow-sales-in-us/">aggressive sales goals it has set for itself</a>.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/q5">Q5</a> has already been a sales winner for the brand here in the States. In 2010, sales of the compact crossover rose 70 percent, and having a smaller Q3 in Audi showrooms would allow customers to still get in on the quad-rung crossover action for a bit less cash.<br />
