I am not just posting this because I have one on order, but why is everyone so negative with regard to the facelift S3. Lets face it guys I know there are changes and they may not be to everyones taste BUT for it to be a facelift it HAS to be changed or it would just be the same car. I doubt very much that any new shape that deviated from any of the iconic Audi styles were recieved very well initially. You will probably find that after a couple of years with this model the pre facelift will look dated and any future changes will again be looked upon as a step backwards. My S2 was awesome when I had it, but compared to the old style coupe it could not have been any more different......thing change during your life.....my mother still gets up to change the channel on the tv.....doesn't mean remotes are the devils work though LOL
