They were always meant to be avant shaped, as the rs2 was. I'll probably get flamed for this, but although I think my 3door is prettier, the sportback definitely looks more grown-up, mean and purposeful. I think Audi have got it right, and I hope they stick to the 3 door for the s3, and only make the rs3 in SB... Just my 2p, don't hurt me!
Although I wouldn't call you a ******, I do agree with your mate. The b7 RS4 IMO is the best looking Audi ever, along with the ur Quattro. Probably why I think a saloon would look the nuts. And it'd blow the 1 series m out of the water.Hmmmm.. As much as I kinda like the saloon, the RS model was never made in saloon, only the "s" and that's the way it should stay! I had this argument with my mate recently because he said the rs4 looks better in saloon or "sedan" than avant.. I said it wasn't just about looks, it was about tradition, at which point he called me an "old-fashioned Audi ******"

I think I haven't made myself clear enough here.. The RS model (rs2) is what I meant... As much as I like the rs4, it just isn't a proper RS for me.. The fact that it gets smoked by the original just says it all.. Making it in saloon was a sin! The rs3 is the first one to attempt to return to how it should be, and it's stillnot quite there - if I could drive a manual, I would have an rs2 all day long.
Ive changed the wheels.... Not the perfect photoshop job.... but it will do....
And how much would sir be willing to pay for all this? Because I think the Quattro is gonna be around this kinda spec, but is rumoured to be starting at £85k
Designer Imagines The Next Audi RS 3 With New Rendering | Reviews | Prices | Australian specifications, here's a teaser pic...
all topped up with practicality and space of the avant so you can even take your dog out for a crazy spin!
Just been looking at a few renderings of the faintly possible (at this stage) RS3 3-door.. Seems like everyone's trying to have a go on photoshop, but this one i like.. Especially the wheels (from the a1 clubsport monster)
and for those of you too lazy to open a link
I know its still speculation at this stage, but this one looks tough - with the black sills, arches and splitters it looks like it could be the first audi for a few years that actually could go rallying?
