If only they'd put the haldex the other way and have it rear wheel drive with maybe some going to the front :)

I disagree.............

Our current RS3 is only slightly over the quoted A45 OTRP, and what options comes with it? As with all AMG cars they really DO NOT hold their value, and all that power from a 2 litre? Would you want to own it outside of its manufacturers warranty???

On paper it seems good, nut lets see what the configurator chucks out and real world tests.

I'm sure the new RS3 will blow it out of the water, but I don't like the look of the new model so my love with RS3's will die with this one.

I saw a new A class in the flesh last week didnt like the look of it at all merc are going through a phase of radical styling at the moment just like bmw did years ago, there will probably be a list of expensive options which will increase the price considerably to 45-50k.

Yes but some options are good!

The RS 3 doesn't have any in comparison to the technology available nowadays.

I agree,my last 3 cars were mercs and we've had many a discussion where i was all for them but i think I've been converted to audi,my S4 will be 3 year old come sept so i will change before then, a merc would have to be something very special for me to go back to them .
