I said it in the thread right below, and on other forums, and Facebook, and I tweeted it to AudiUK - I was waiting for this release with a strong intention of replacing my RS4 with a saloon RS3. I won't be now, hugely disappointed.

Audi are chasing volume and market share so every model decision they make will be a "safe" one - which for enthusiasts like us makes the 8V RS3 totally uninteresting and gets it crossed off the list, but you can bet that Joe Public and those who must have the latest thing will love it.

I must be getting old. I see so many pimped up S-Lines and the like I would quite enjoy driving this debadged with no-one having a clue what was underneath.

he A45 is also too bling for me, despite being a cracking little car. The reviews of its handling so far are extremely positive, albeit as passengers in a pre-release model.

I may order one just because of the stealthiness of it, maybe even stick a TDi badge on the back for good measure.
