The upcoming Audi A1 should be headed to dealerships in the United States any day now, but it won't be. Audi has no plans (as of now) to bring their small, two door hatchback to America.

Also unfortunate, Audi's smallest car may not be making the trans-Atlantic swim, their S1 version of the 2011 Audi A1 has been spied testing almost completely undisguised by the folks over at The Motor Authority.
