What where you told mate?Not what I was told. Where did you get info?
Not so long ago @RVP20 was telling us that the facelift RS3 would simply follow along with the facelift A3 which O/T also seems to be struggling to get out of the factoryNot what I was told. Where did you get info?

RS3 Sportback will be here in spring 2017 definitely
This would definitely interest me if true...is there a possibility that when the RS3 is re-launched (next year) it may be saloon only ?
Audi may think that the TTRS may satisfy those looking for a hatch / coupe ?
in the same way there is no RS4 saloon - Audi believe buyers who want saloon go for the RS5.
One of the few facts we know is that the RS3 saloon is ear-marked for the USA August 2017.
So maybe just maybe it could be saloon RS3 run out for next year and no hatch at all.
I can't see it myself and this could be a really way out there suggestion, but you never know !
If in the wildest imagination possible if Audi where just to make the RS3 saloon only,of which they won't lolThis would definitely interest me if true...
Watch it mate! There's nothing wrong with the looks on the S3 saloon............lolIf in the wildest imagination possible if Audi where just to make the RS3 saloon only,of which they won't lol
I wouldn't get one,saloon in my opinion doesn't look sporty enough, S5 it would be for me
Exactly nothing wrong at all in S3 guise,but no swollen arches on the Rs3 saloon, as the wheel arches are large enough and wide enough toWatch it mate! There's nothing wrong with the looks on the S3 saloon............lol
Lol...I still think an RS3 saloon will look the bee's knee's...All from a mere mortal of course...Exactly nothing wrong at all in S3 guise,but no swollen arches on the Rs3 saloon, as the wheel arches are large enough and wide enough to
accommodate the 255/30/19 tyres just now,also l think the saloon has more of executive aura about it,if ye catch me drift the Notable member has spoken lol
You bet yer bottom dollar it will mate and a car that will definitely get the bride to the church on time lolLol...I still think an RS3 saloon will look the bee's knee's...All from a mere mortal of course...
Oh yes! It will be white if they do one...lolYou bet yer bottom dollar it will mate and a car that will definitely get the bride to the church on time lol
It was a wild suggestion lol
spring 2017 for the hatch then & few months later for the 'wedding car'

Yeah but it was only a few weeks ago you said FL release was imminent lol

Glad your patient and your only going through what I did last year I suppose when I was looking forward to enjoying my car in the summer of 2016 ....... oh yeah !!!
3,500rpm
My issue with the PFLs for sale are the amount dealers are charging. I know there's this great debate about if a FL car is coming, but the odds are that there is. In which case, £50k for one is obscene. In fact, £50k is expensive even if there is no FL on the way. I currently drive a Golf R while I wait for RS3 production to resume. You can get one of those nearly new for half that!!! And it's a pretty decent car.
There are still a few unregistered PFL RS3s available. Dealer's aren't advertising them widely. I've had confirmation of 9 - 4 panther, 2 Sepang, 1 Daytona grey and 2 Nardo grey. I expect there are more.
Leaving unanswered questions / doubts about the availability / timing of the new FL RS3 will at least maintain interest, and prices, on unsold new and used PFL cars.
I'm waiting for spec lists on 2 of unregistered PLFs to see if they tick the right boxes. If not, then I'll wait for a nice used one to come up. I'll only wait for the FL car if nothing else comes up before then. Audi dealers don't know yet, or aren't telling, when the FL RS3 will be available but I wouldn't expect it to be until the end of this year, at the earliest.
As for the FL A3 generally, I can't see that it's improved the looks of the car, so can't see the point. I sometimes wish they would just leave the grill alone. It's had more work done than Mickey Rourke
Yeah timeline would fit for 2017 release as it must have been 6 months ago that the TTRS mules were initially seen.
Saloon not for me either as prefer the extra practicality of the hatch.
Yep that will fit in with the timeline. Great to see a shot of it being tested.
Roll on 2017

Expect a list price of around £45000,new S3 saloon starts at just over £35000,Sportback will cone
Wonder what base price the FL sportback will be .... £42k / £43k ?
Plus .... is it April 17 the new car tax rules kick in ? if so March delivery will save a few quid !!
I'm guessing the hatchback will be starting around 42k but it will be worth it

The concensus on the A3/S3 forum is the saloon is a better looking car?they're some truth in that, but as far as RS3 goes the Sportback is a better looking car....more aggressive and sportier looking,£43k for hatchback l think Audi's marketing boys will do the same job RS3 saloon as they do on the S3 saloon charge you more by adding some options in....plusWonder what base price the FL sportback will be .... £42k / £43k ?
