My next car for sure. One year to wait by the sound of it.

Bout time... Nice !

Anyone have an idea of costings? Given you can pick up S3's in the 60's, and the A45 is similar in specs (excluding torque), it would be a nice thought to see it in the sub $100k category. Doubtful, but you can grab an S4 in the $115k mark, so ill be interested to see the price point.

I reckon it'll be sub-100K asking price. Might not take much with ORC and options to tip it over, but I reckon RRP will be 95K +/- a few grand.

There's around $40K plus on road difference between the TTRS Plus ( RS3 Engine ) and the TTS ( S3 engine )
If that is any guide i reckon we are looking at $105-$115K on the road but it depends on what they decide to offer spec wise.

By release time, second hand B8 RS4's will be in that price bracket or slightly lower..hmmm....

At that price point it does throw up some exciting propositions but I'm sure it will be pitched at new car buyers. It could pinch sales from within though from the TTRS.
One thing for sure its setting the benchmark for the most expensive hatch on the market. Tick a few Audi options and you'll be at $150k before you know it.

for me the styling is too subtle for an RS, just imo

I'd say between $95-105k.

No flared arches?

No dice.
