The quirky, innovative 1999 Audi A2 will be eligible to import to the United States this year, and it's more fascinating than you might think.

I was about to post this myself.. if the USA starts importing A2s, does that mean that prices will rise as the supply dwindles and the demand increases..? Should we be concerned?

Depends how many you own? Some may be thrilled

The Yanks will want LHD, not RHD. Although we're easier to deal with than the Europeans, speaking (nomimally) the same language).

Glad I put a tracker on mine, and set the geo-fence to the mid Atlantic.
I'll still barely sleep a wink though.

Not going to comment on your comment. Would have it deleted and be accused of being partizan. Whatever that is?

We're surely allowed to jest aren't we? I used to be be a bit partisan, but I've joined the ranks of the disillusioned.

I think my crime was I criticised Johnson; can’t remember exactly.
It is not being disillusioned; if they elect Trump before they throw him in jail, but then they can still elect him and he can pardon himself; the World and Europe in particular are in serious trouble.

If you have seen Doug DMs review of why he is selling his A class you might wonder if the US will decide "no" as Doug is something of a trend setter. I still wouldn't be surprised if he does import one though, lots in the comment section on the "selling the A class" video saying how different the A2 is re driving engagement.

I would be very surprised if they imported them in any notable number. Shipping and importing a car to the US is quite costly and a small, quirky economical hatchback is only attractive to a very small minority in SUV and truck loving America. Maybe if 'gas' gets much more expensive.
