Audi RS3 Article
 

I think the car is cool. It sounds like a fun machine. But $60,000? They would have had my interest at $50,000 but too small, too lacking from a luxury standpoint, and too many other options for $60k.

What other options are there with 400hp and AWD for $60k?

Oh the things I would do to get the hatchback version to the states.

I was not thinking of AWD or specifically off 400 hp. But for a little less I buy an M2 or for a little more a low optioned Cayman S. The Focus RS offers 350hp and AWD for a little over half the price.

Love the interior - those seats! Mmmm.

It get's a "meh" from me. Now if it were a Golf Wagon with 400hp and awd...

just buy a golfR and keep your 20K for tires and other madness.

When I look at this segment, I think more performance sedan than performance AWD. And in the 60k realm of performance sedans, the offerings from BMW (M3 starts at 64k) and Cadillac (ATS V starts in the 60s) have better motors and according to magazines, driving dynamics. The four wheel traction is just icing on the cake for winter climates.

Yeah, I don't see the appeal.

i think the car will be less than $60k. Usually the canadian prices are higher than US. I'd bet it's very close to M2 prices.
