Don't worry Ben, still reading up
Just mega busy right now, house, mortgage, planning a move...
I still hope to see it, and think sticking the 5 cylinder lump in it is enough of a technology leap for me. It's interesting though, reading a lot of the press at the mo and it seems the industry is forecasting the market will want to downsize there cars, so more focus is going on the premium hatch sector... so it may well come, and if they want to test it in the market, the 8P chassis is the one to try it on, it's sold well, has returned on all the R&D and machining costs years ago, so they get good profit from this chassis right now. So, to minimise commercial risk, the time would be now. However, whether Audi think their is a big enough market for a £35k hatch in the current climate is another matter!
I have my fingers crossed
