Strangely no, one more email to look forward to when it lands at the dealer.
@SamRS , thanks for letting me know. Have removed from the list. Best wishes going forward.
The RSQ3 is in for a service a week Friday so it will probably be there on that day!Look at what you could’ve won……..

FOMO is something I've never gotten with the car l cancelled....l just reminded myself on how the interior looked enough said
Mr Negative strikes again, wait for the facelift in 2 years. Feel like you really really wanted one but Couldn’t for some reason.
Hi, I feel im not winding other members up. I don’t understand why somebody who has no interest in the car and from almost all of his post is very negative. Every other member has valued feed back that is helpful.
I've not got a dog in this fight and I can see all sides, however as I don't own an 8Y I think you can guess my conclusion.
I bought a new Ford as a stop-gap between BMWs and 6 years later I still had it. For what it cost it was well put together, never cost me a penny over normal maintenance for 60K miles. To this day it is one of the best balanced and fun cars to chuck around the place I have driven.
In many opinions the interior of the 8V RS3 is not spectacular for a 50k car, but I'm not a fan of overly fancy interiors and for me the 8V interior is well put together and does not let a 50K car down, even though it is basically the same as a base A3 TDi.
The problem I have is an 8V that was 50K is now over 70K for an 8Y, that is a big jump in a couple of years even taking into account the price of cars. For me that is starting to knock on the door of cars that are a step up on any A3 variant.
It is all about perceived quality and what you get for the money.
If I did not have the 8V I would not be buying an 8Y because for the money it just does not float my boat and I'd likely either be throwing more money at it to get something that felt more worth it to me or I would be buying another stop-gap, maybe even another Ford.
I think (and hope) it's not the case outside UK. This color is getting audi exclusive in many countries and in some already is. I hope it won't cause serious delay.
All new models & Manufacturers have had big price increases not just the 8Y.I've not got a dog in this fight and I can see all sides, however as I don't own an 8Y I think you can guess my conclusion.

Compared to the A45 I guess they had to have it nearer that price tag along with inflation.
What would you say offers more for similar money? Has to be new out the box with a warranty to make it fair.
Maybe for you but not for me and many others, it just has to be something I want to drive instead that gives me the feeling I want when driving, whether it be a used DAZA TTRS, used 911, Porsche Cayman, M2 or Alpina B3. I am not saying they have to be the same price either, just the difference is less than it used to be. I would sooner pay a bit more and sit in something much better, or sit in something older for half the money that still gives you what you want. There are may valid options for lots of people not just the narrow criteria you judge things by.
I agree with everything you say and if you got to pay list in the early days it was more realistic, but it was a long wait. What they are going for now is less so.
I could have gone used and easily gone for a 911/991 GTS. Although it had to have a manufacturers warranty with ideally newer tech with a half decent drive. I’m pretty sure majority of owners could have done the same but also wanted something newer.
This is my whole point, everyone has different wants and priorities
No right or wrong.
