Default Murano A3 B Day

<center><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/227/491538802_dc0cd2feb7_b.jpg"></center><p>She's one year old so I took her pic on the way in to the office this AM.

Tempted to put on some wheels, rubber, suspension, maybe let Hpa do their thing but that EvoX is tempting Decided to wait until it's out before I start dropping money on the A3. The wife likes the A3 exactly the way it is so at least she stays in the family should the Evo live up to all the fanfare.

Default Agreed, but a fair amount of similarities...

From what I've read;

both have a 6 speed DSG

both are AWD. Although even with the Haldex Performance controller I would imagine the AWD system in the Evo more sophisticated.

With a low end Hpa turbo the A3 would be around 390 hp. I would guess a modded Evo would be close to that.

So you could spend around $20k (bbk, suspension, haldex) on the A3 and I would guess it would approach the performance of the Evo.

Obviously if you could live with the cheaper interior and build quality the Evo would be cheaper from a performance standpoint.
