He he... as if you'll see a new SB for at least a few yearsThe SB will be slightly cheaper when it's launched (before saloon) and I expect Audi will sell more SB's than saloon (dealers prediction).

RVP, it's time to give it up mate!

For those who don't like the saloon.....this could be an option and is rumoured to have a five litre engine too.

Why would Mercedes go and use a 5-litre engine when all there new AMG models (including the GT) use a 4 litre one??
Don't know I haven't asked them

Seems like the dealer is trying to keep your interest levels up. Different if Audi themselves announced it. Take it with a pinch of salt, but hopefully for you it's correct.My dealer just emailed me this.....said the hatch and the saloon will be available at the same time in the U.K.

I'm really not bothered either way. Old one, new one, saloon one, SB one... blah blah blah. The only car that matters to me right now is my utterly beautiful 8V parked on my drive.Hey that's just for the people waiting on news.....I understand that you guys with the old model find change hard but you need to move with the times 'Tearsofjoy'
Saloon for me baby!

what are we expecting with a facelift? If going by the S3 id say slight power hike to around 380bhp? I know the A45 is around the same but Audi never really have been bhp chasers like merc, the virtual cockpit, some style tweaks on front bumper maybe the Lighter engine?
All good things but not enough for me to break open the piggy bank, I just hope it's not like the pre and post facelift A45 situation! I understand we can't all chase the latest Thing but merc really did a number on pre facelift owners lol
Saloon will be 400 horses or so with virtual dash etc however it is at least 12 months away, in the UK, if not 18 imho. By that time mine will be 2.5 years old so perhaps that was the plan from Audi all along
TX.

Funnily enough my local dealer in Auckland NZ said they had a dealer update last week about the facelift RS3 Sportback, they said to expect before the saloon. Who knows? I hope he's right as I'm keen on the facelift Sportback.
RVP strikes again with his head full of daydreams...Yeah that's what my dealer said it would be released before the saloon so I'm hoping to be ordering my saloon around June 17 and hoping to take delivery end of 2017.
Hatch should be on the road before this.

I've got a feeling that you won't see the RS3 in hatch form at any point in the future. Saloon only model I reckon, going forward.Yeah that's what my dealer said it would be released before the saloon so I'm hoping to be ordering my saloon around June 17 and hoping to take delivery end of 2017.

Bang on point. Too many people ummed and ahhed and missed the opportunity when it was there. I'll admit I was close to holding off and waiting for a FL but I'm so glad I didn't. Like you said, people don't associate a saloon with an RS3, no doubt they will look nice but historically as with the S3 in the UK the hatch has always held on to its value better than the saloon. Anyway, what underground car park can I burble through today.....I've got a feeling that you won't see the RS3 in hatch form at any point in the future. Saloon only model I reckon, going forward.
My missus got some correspondence from Audi, with a form included to express your interest in current / forthcoming models... no mention of the RS3 SB, only a mention for the RS3 saloon in forthcoming models. All the other F/L models were on there, including S3.
Feel lucky that I got my SB when I did, at the price it was. The saloon doesn't interest me, it's a budget RS4 - it's just not got that iconic 3 series hatch design IMO.
The RS3 for those who missed the boat...
