i suspect its so it does not step on the toes of the TT, i assume that's the same reason why its duel clutch only, the RS4 is like wise going to be 5 dr and avant only (i suspect so it wont affect RS5 sales)
it could possibly be so to keep the complexity to a minimum, they are pulled of production line and have a lot of production done to them at a different factory
personally i am glad its 5 door and duel clutch as that's what i want
RS's should be avants anyway

IMHO bodies should be like this
2Dr Coupe
3Dr Hatch
4Dr Saloon
5Dr Estate
so why have 5dr hatch's when 5dr estates look so much better just my opinion

I think the A3 Sportback is pretty close to the same shape as an Avant, just scaled to the length of the car.
Personally I don't think RS models look good as anything but an Avant. Full Stop.
