Merlot Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Looks good. I doubt a 280PS blown 2 litre will be enough to tempt me out of my V6 version though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlot Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I think I read on the TT forum that it is next spring/early summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy2shots Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Has the power been confirmed? I thought it was going to be the same as the S3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gren Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 First I heard was 270, now 280. Was always meant to be slightly higher than the S3. Watching this one carefully. This time next year......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark88 Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 CAR magazine just put out this: http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/secret_new_car.php?sid=1301&page=1 Shame they've got it all wrong. "The hotter S will be easily identified by those large gaping front air intakes, deeper chin, bigger 19inch alloys and those gutter-sized split twin exhaust pipes. Audi is apparently reserving its four-pipe exhaust layout for the blood-spitting RS version..." They have pictures of the RS version but they think it's the S version......despite pictures of the S version being all over the net. Wonder how much these idiots earn?

J_C Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yep, muppets (on this occasion anyway). Spy shots of the car in those pics surfaced ages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3Rob Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Saw this earlier today, I was actually going to email them about how wrong their so called 'news' is, then I thought who reads CAR anyway One thing I hope they've got very wrong is the price. £38,000 is a joke.

Merlot Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 CAR used to be such a good magazine in the late 90s then EVO came along and ate it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Yup. Cancelled my CAR subscription last year when they changed the format and get EVO now. Better read and they seem to "get" what people want to read about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of evo's writing is far better these days but it's rather one dimensional and 'the thrill of driving' stuff is a bit OTT - unfortunately there is a real world out there as well Never quite got this w**king at the temple of evo stuff personally but each to their own, I suppose.

Mook Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Maybe I should rephrase my original post to Better read and they seem to "get" what people who buy their mag want to read about WTF is "w**king at the temple of evo stuff"? Or should we all keep buying CAR magazine just to keep the publisher happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't like my new 535d either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1MAC Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Maybe I should rephrase my original post to Better read and they seem to "get" what people who buy their mag want to read about [/ QUOTE ] That's probably closer to where I see it. As I said, well written but done so from a certain perspective, generally at the expense of all others. I guess I just get a bit bored with yet another 'episode' of the chaps get the arse of a supercar out in Wales (or somewhere nice), just like last month (ad infinitum). Then again, I seem to be in a smallish minority who find another hour of Jeremy & minions messing around with something vaguely car related AGAIN a bit boring after a while as well. [ QUOTE ] WTF is "w**king at the temple of evo stuff"? [/ QUOTE ] The tendency of a lot of people on a lot of motoring forums to treat every word/opinion of evo with equal or greater reverence than they would the word of whichever God they might choose to follow. Evo often does get things fairly on the ball but they aren't 100% and they do often base opinions on the life & times of a motoring journalist as opposed to those of a normal chap in the real world. One little example that just springs to mind would be the S3 vs 'rivals' test - I'm sure there are people out there who lap up every word but I'm not one and I'm surprised there isn't more of a balanced view out there. I guess the less than great state of the other magazines and their inability to see what their individual issues are sees to that. [ QUOTE ] Or should we all keep buying CAR magazine just to keep the publisher happy? [/ QUOTE ] No but I for one would prefer for it to exist and continue (even though I don't have much time for it's current incarnation - was nearly enough for me to can my subs but it's not money to miss and it's something to read on the throne). The world of auto journalism would be poorer without a mag that at least tries to look at the whole spectrum - if it got back to how it was in the late 80's & early 90's then it would be the best all rounder out there. Whether that will ever happen is a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_C Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Doesn't look that way, although if these are just prototypes then it's anybody's guess as to what the final production car will look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3Rob Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Probably just running prototypes. S3 didn't have them either at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
