He only commented on the slightly suspect new Audi rings and the lack of an S3 badge on the front. I would agree with him (based purely on photos) but I think the new front grill front is otherwise fine. And I suspect that Audi might add an S3 badge (based on press comments) before it is officially released. It may be undistinguishable from an FL A3 (from the front) but many prefer the sleeper/understated look anyway. Would definitely not be a deal breaker for me if I was in the market for a new S3, especially as it seems to be improved in all important respects: More power, more torque, better brakes, faster/slicker gear changes, better handling (although he couldn't demo that on those small winter tyres) and better quality interior.
