Putting an order in for the new rs3 saloon

[RIV]

I'm not sure on colour, I'm not going for exclusive the wait is too long, one thing I don't get is I've been told you can only spec black optics with the basic colours, this seems well odd to me.

Somebody's bullshitting you. The only paint you can't spec the Black Styling pack with is Panther Black.

Audi UK wouldn't let us spec black optics with either Mythos black or Panther black on the RS6. Other places in Europe would allow it. But you can spec it now in the UK too.
But for the RS3 it ooks like black pack is not allowed with Panther but it is with Mythos as Kev pointed out.

Not only does it have the alu pack but it has the titan alloys!

[Huwbert]

You can spec the ceramics or they do come with the performance pack, as a pose to the 'design' pack. Can't blame anyone for changing the wheels, they look a bit pants for an RS model. The configurator is online now.

I was going for panther black.. seems ridiculous that I can't even choose what i want

[MikeFish]

The only way to get the black grille and black window surrounds on the black Rs6 was to choose the 5k carbon exterior pack. I think Audi knew black with black optics was going to be a popular option so they thought they'd rape us. I suspect the same is happening here. Is there an expensive exterior carbon option?

[RIV]

Think I've changed my mind about a thousand times I'm what car to get, I'm starting to think do I wait for the new rs4 to be out and the end of the year?

[doodlebug]

Go drive an RS5 and see what you think. The RS4 isn't going to be dynamically a million miles away.

Leeds have a Daytona RS5 in stock with full carbon, roof, exterior and interior.

[marrog08]

What have they done with the wheel arches on the RS 3 saloon? they are recessed and look hideous

Nope, just an expensive interior one instead!

Stopped speccing at £61k and it still doesn't have all the kit I have presently and only front ceramics, cheapskates!

Well all booked in for a test drive in west London Audi
Tomorrow in the rs3....then to BM next week to try the Fl M2. Have to say the M2 makes the rs3 look weak, heart is with the M2 ATM will see what I think after the test drives, just want a smaller car with 4 seats to rip about in now.
From the reviews on the rs5 I think the next rs4 will be pants, got spanked on a rolling start by the M3 and merc on one test.
Must lack some mid range punch!!!
