Pretty sweet offering since the S3 isn’t coming here anytime soon.

Looks good! That is going to be well received just like the B8 S4s were compared to the B6/7 S4s

Curious to what the curb weight will be???

I’m confident we in North America will see a k04 2.0t s3 sedan within 18 months and a 2.5t RS3 sedan within 3 years.

Motor is good. Tail lights are fugly. Wheels are hideous. Quad tips are overkill on a 4cyl little hatch.

I’d love to see that. It’d be a great matchup to the BMW 1M.

I think the tail lights will look great in person. Quite similar to the touareg lights. Wheels I agree are not too hot, but I would probably swap on the wheels I have on my gli, which are black. I’m waiting to hear back on the sales manager at a local dealership on some insider info for more specific release dates ;D

Has there been any official news of the s3? Or just a detective Saki hunch :stuck_out_tongue: I haven’t heard anyone talk about a NA s3. I would take the S3 in a heartbeat over this, I want to get back into an Audi for my next car. I just didn’t see anything comparable coming over the water anytime soon.

I find the rear fender flares aren’t pronounced enough compared to the front fender flares. Looks like a disconnect to me.
