oh that!!!! yeah seen one of them before, didn't realise our frog eating friends had been stupid enough to make it though - thought it was a concept for the 'Jepsons' forthcoming movie

Exactly - looks like an S3 with an aftermarket bodykit.

Whilst the S models have always had fairly subtle styling mods, the RS ones have always been distinguished by changed bodywork (usually flares wheelarches) and the oval pipes.

The RS3 has neither. It's a very cynical marketing exercise which deserves neither the badge nor the price tag and which diminishes the entire RS brand IMO. Audi should be ashamed of themselves.
