And the rivalry goes on......it is always interesting to read about the Audi vs BMW vs MB, etc. At least in the last 15 years or so, C&D and R&T,etc have dropped some of their pro-BMW bias. (giving extra points to prior BMWs for 'manufacture rebates' and taking points away from Audis because 'it's too easy to drive fast' both from the TTRS vs 1M article as examples.) I drove the prior gen S3 and it was very nice, but the A4 had the new dash electronics, now it's in the S3/RS3. Those items are appealing to many drivers. Audi put the best electronics in their bottom line cars. Usually the 'goodies' are only in the A8's. BMW does the same thing with better features in the more expensive cars leaving the M2 with less of the electronic joy.
It will be very interesting to see if the RS3 engine has any more Tune in it to be had given it's a 2.5 liter putting out 160 hp per liter! LOL.
