The bad news:
Rumors are that the right-hand driven T3 from SA will be discontinued next
year.
The T4 goes to SA, while in Germany the T5 starts.

The good news:
The T3 will be built in Brazil (?), just like the T2 now. That means: left
hand driven (isn�t it?) and a catalytic convertor, still with the Audi5
inline.

None of these news is 100% proof. However, that would be GREAT!

LHD may be a step back for the Aussis, but I don�t care! ;-)
Andrew, is New Zealand also RHD?
