Default next hot Audi... RS3

the A3 is such a hot little car and already relatively light and tight. an RS version really appeals. i spotted one in france in the summer. previous platform - but still really cool. new one would be so nice.

how many would be into this versus the RS4 and proposed RS6, etc?

They do make an S3 but it will not come to the US because it would compete with the R32

Default Sadly an RS3 has never been. S3's yes, it was probably just somebody who messed with an RS badge

onto an A3 or an S3. There is a proposed RS3 and we WILL be getting it. As it stands now it's going to receive an FSI VR6 ranging anywhere in the 3.4-3.8 liter neighborhood with around 330-350bhp and it will be a bi-turbo. It will probably be DSG only in europe and in the U.S. I hope we have the option of stick or DSG and look for this to come in sometime around the 2008-2009 time frame.

Default That's not the reason.

Other cars in the VW line up compete with Audis.

Default That is the reason according to C&D magazine (a couple months back)

I'm not saying they are always correct but I think they talked to an "AoA insider".

Default I hope they sell one here...

a nice twin turbo v6 would be good - suitable replacement for my B5...
