Yes yes yes. In sportback with a remap this will be a great motor. What's the cost going to be though I wonder £40k with options?

It will be interesting if the new MBQ platform allows for a more supple ride than the current S3.

If so, its up there on our list to replace the GTI Mk5 next spring-ish....or maybe we'll get a Skoda Yeti like my mate. He absolutely raves about it (i'm not so sure)

Quad pipes on a 2.0L?!?!

Those seats are 'money'.

Had a look around an s line A3 last week and really liked the look of the exterior and the interior, I reckon that the new S3 will be a great car even if it is too small for my needs.

SB 'out' now as well. Mind you can't get one for about nine months. Loads of manufacturers seem to do this now.

SB will be launched at Geneva in March, but the pics have been released. Looks quite good, but not very special. I'm waiting for the notchback (little coupe saloon thing) to be revealed officially.

Well I clearly folded and went B7 RS4 but have lodged RS3 sedan interest at dealer as an everyday run around
No idea on timing, dealer thinks early 2015
