2016 Audi RS3 Sportback

[Bryn]

Uhm..... How exactly is the A3 unacceptably dated now?

If you can't look at the new A3 and see how dated it is then you're an Audi fanboy.

Audis used to be very popular cars on the road. I hardly see newer models anymore. Everyone can see that Audi has gone to hell. Even Tavcor here in PE, who have the rights to Audi and VW, have all their display spots filled with VW vehicles now.

Volvo is the new Audi and Audi is the new Volvo.

Then there is the flawed logic of calling the dulled down station wagon version Sportback instead of Avant. Ja nee...

 

[Debeer165]

Please, enlighten me. I obviously do not deserve your wisdom, but I ask you as an insignificant fool to take mercy on me.

:wtf:

My experience with them is completely different here in PTA. Boatloads of new Audis on the road. A3s, A5s, Q3s, Q5s etc.

And I don't think the A3 is dated at all. It looks fantastic, IMO. Interior is also miles ahead of the 1 series and A Class.

I begin to wonder if Bryn and Roux are not perhaps orchestrating a trolling double team..

Lol Audi is the one trolling everyone.

It's a VAG thing. Remember when Clarkson trolled "the new 911".

Confirmed. Moving on, I wonder what the acceleration would be on the RS3...

Sales don't mean they're good products. Call of Duty is the best selling video game franchise of all time and most of the games suck ass. There is an abundance of clueless consumers in this world.

Bottom line is that it still does not have the class you get with a BMW or Mercedes. It is a glorified volksie for those who think they are different, but sadly can't see how dull and mainstream they are, or they just don't care.

I actually think that BMWs are becoming too common, that no matter how great they may look, they're so common that they're boring. You'd have to be mad to drop half a bar on something that everyone else has.

MB is still cool though, except I don't like how the rear of the new C-class looks - it looks like it was ripped from some Chinese car...

And that makes one more person lending their voice to the fact that MB have lost the plot with rear designs. C Class, A, CLA, etc.

 

[Dolby]

Wait till the new Focus RS arrives

If it's AWD perhaps.

But have you seen what the Quattro Audis do the competition? It's embarrassing, really. Perhaps that is what BMW and Mercedes should do nowadays. Throwing more power doesn't equate to more performance on their performance models

You haven't really provided any useful criticism of Audi except that you don't like the styling...

Not liking a styling is one thing but calling anyone that likes what you don't like soulless is just baiting for reactions, I.e. trolling.

I agree the current "face" of the A3 is a little dainty and soft. It needs a bit more design and aggression like the new TT. I love the rear half though and the rear angular lights. The A3 sedan is probably the best looking booted Audi at the moment.

Now all you people saying how you'd rather drive a horse to work than an RS3 - you can't afford it anyway.

You know what they say about people obsessed with things, like race, sexual orientation etc. It's because deep down they want it bad.

So you saying consumers, making the 2nd biggest purchase of their lives, will do the same due diligence as they would if they were buying a video game?

So what you saying is incredibly stupid people earn enough to afford a premium vehicle? Or are the stupider than stupid the Opel drivers?

I'm a MB fan but have to agree. The new c-class rear is hard to love.

About sales figures, if you want to be unique then avoid the number one selling items.
