About fooking time too..  :pomppomp:  Although it won't be drawing me in at nearly 1600kgs and ONLY available in Sportback variant (epic fail from Audi IMO)  :sad1: If I was weighing out that cash i'd be heading to my nearest BMW dealer to lob a deposit on the 1M..

Oh and no twin oval tailpies?!?!?! WTF!   :surprised:

Hang on! I don't like Audis, but I like that! What's going on?!

Looking forward to seeing the OEM black alloys!

If its only going to be available in 5 door, give me a 3 door S3 any day, not that I could afford to spend £40k on a car anyway!

They will all sell, no doubt. But they'll all be sold to rich dude's for their Mrs to poke about town in.. Same with the Golf R, VAG don't seem to be targeting/listening to the enthusiast anymore it seems.. Very sad!

Are you basing that opinion on the fact it's only available as a 5 door?

....A few perhaps but I don't agree.

It's got me seriously thinking if I can make the maths work! Raid my savings? Raid my daughter's trust fund?

Damn them for showing the RS3 in throbbin' red!!  :drool:

5-door, S-tronic, is the only option I'd be interested in and those wheels are my favourite Audi alloys. All I'd need is a Milltek exhaust to enjoy that engine and black Audi ring badging.

If I was ever to go back on my word and buy another Audi this would be the one.

That and the fact you'll be paying north of £45k for a decent specced one... As I said, they will sell them no problem. But I dare say that the majority of them that you see on the roads won't be driven by proper enthusiasts, more like middle aged house wifes who wanted a top of the range A3 that they can get people and shopping in..  :wink:
I think the excuse about not releasing it in the 3 door variant because it may clash with the sales of the TTRS is quite frankly ridiculous!!! Totally different cars for totally different applications IMO.. Plus it's not like they've released them at the same time either. If someone wants a TTRS then they have had plenty of time to buy one..

I'm not saying that no enthusiast will buy one Robin, because they obviously will and I look forward to seeing you in one with the customary middle finger out the window..  :signLOL: However, what I don't think will happen will be an influx of owners on a owners forum like this (obviously build numbers will be a lot less I know), just look at the Golf R compared to the R32..  :wink:
