And per this article, it's already here. Saw a Nogaro Blue RS 3 cruising around my little wine hamlet prolly doing photoshoots for brochure and track stuff at the AE. It said RS 3 in the grill, so that was the second clue...

My guess is low $50s. Anything at $60k will be M3 money and that's a lot more car. Even the S4 and S5 come close to that fully loaded which is a questionable value for performance ratio.
Still, and I get that Audi doesn't care, but I have no interest in a car like this without a six speed. |

Now bring the Golf R 400 and no one will care about the lack of a RS3 Sportback.

After all those positive Golf R reviews, would have thought that new RS3 will be even better, but people seem to be disappointed.

I really wanted this to be fantastic...but it looks like lightly used M3 is a much better buy.

I would get a Golf R over an RS3 any day. I sat in an S3 sedan at the dealer and it was a very nice car, but a bit too small for my family at the moment.

The 5 cylinder engine sounds like a gem but it appears it's a little too heavy an engine for this chassis.

Except it's AWD. Matters not that it's origins are from a FWD chassis. The problem with this car is that the 5 cylinder engine is too heavy and makes the car too nose heavy.

Can you get a Corvette for $55k Hans? I was under the impression you're paying $60K for a base Corvette without the Z07 package.

You mean an AWD adapted RWD platform like BMW xDrive which turns a nimble RWD platform into a terrible handling car? I can go all day shooting holes in your argument. |

There is a huge difference in the robustness and performance of AWD systems when they're a large consideration of the design process. No **** AWD = understeer, especially against a RWD platform it may be based off. That's just a fact. Add the same electronic trickery in the Evo and RS to the mentioned RWD based platforms and they'll perform better than the RS and Evo. Those two examples are only valid BECAUSE of the electronic trickery needed to overcome platform weaknesses. |
