At last we get an RS3

After a long wait and lots of speculation it finally looks like there is going to be an RS3 Audi.

I'm also eager to see what the new A3 is going to bring, it will probably be as big as a mk1 A4 judging by the way things are going with cars at the moment!

It is bizarre. Cars get bigger and then manufacturers just slot a new small one in at the bottom.

Not just bigger but heavier as well. The A3 MK2 is about 600kg's heavier than the Mk1.

Oh dear, the S3 was nice and classy, if a little on the porky side. That just looks like Max Power has got hold of a normal S3. Can't see it coming in 2010 really, it's nearly christmas!

In theory the larger executive cars should be the size of artics by now. :amuse:

Reading the title, I thought you got a new motor Waynne! :amuse:

Oh I wish I wish. I sat in the S3 a few weeks ago and it was lovely! But I'd have to wait a good few years before the RS3 gets into my price range, let alone the S3.

A3's only depreciated 7% last year!

The RS3 is as quick as the original R8! Impressive stuff really and a hell of a lot more practical.

It looks like a shortened A4 avant, not really my cup 'o' tea, but doesn't it annoy people that at the end of a models life they bring out the hottest version yet and then 2 months later a brand new model with another hotter version is released,

Loz, have you seen the new BMW lwb 7 series, it is the size of an artic and has the engines to match,

Those lwb 7 Series are like Lear jets with the wings cut off!

I'd like to see how the RS3 does against a RS on the Top Gear track. :bigsmile:
