Best to ignore.

Hi Guys,
Thought that I would try to steer the conversation back to the original topic Here are some pictures I took from the Goodwood Moving Motor Show. I really liked the R400 "concept" but what does everyone else think? Is it worth the estimated £40,000 asking price?
I do like it, although the yellow flashes don't do anything for me.
Like the look of the Golf, although those two exhausts don't look right.
Too big to be that close to the centre of the car.
The only thing I like about the R400 is that they mirrored the twin central exhausts of the R32!
The Golf R should have had these but they were lazy and followed the easy route of using the same exhaust mounts of the S3.
What do you currently own out of interest?Owning an audi or an rs3 doesn't mean you can't appreciate other brands and their cars for what they are
Perfectly said!. And also people want to compare cars if they areOwning an audi or an rs3 doesn't mean you can't appreciate other brands and their cars for what they are
What about the adverts ? I have heard loads of talk in our mess room about the new RS3 and the majority aren't petrolheadsHaving come from Subaru's I'm getting old now and have a responsible job where I'm out meeting clients so the understated RS3 ticks my boxes it allows me to retain the power without the racer boy image.
Sorry I don't understand the question, are you saying the adverts give it a racer boy image? Not sure anyone who saw the car in the flesh would relate it back to the adverts as it is so understated.What about the adverts ?

I meant that it reaches out to lots of people and the advert says its an animalSorry I don't understand the question, are you saying the adverts give it a racer boy image? Not sure anyone who saw the car in the flesh would relate it back to the adverts as it is so understated.
Which is great as it doesn't look like an animal.I meant that it reaches out to lots of people and the advert says its an animal
Chained up ? What is it meant to represent then rather than a beast/animal ? Unicorn ? My little pony ?Which is great as it doesn't look like an animal.
Really don't see what you are getting at. All I'm saying is in the 'flesh' it is understated. I won't be chaining mine up .Chained up ? What is it meant to represent then rather than a beast/animal ? Unicorn ? My little pony ?
Have you seen the 'basic' bottom spec. A3 it was on my wife's company car list? I do live quite close to the moon too.Its an Audi RS3….besides that the Audi brand is a premium marque so instantly its never understated unless you live on the moon.
Yes and even the 'basic' bottom spec A3 is an upgrade on a Subaru so I am unsure where you are going Norman,I am saying the RS3 is not understated at all with the coverage but if your opinion differs with the coverage then Audi will be miffedHave you seen the 'basic' bottom spec.

Not quite sure why you have to have a dig at Subaru but that's your opinion. I don't understand why the adverts have anything to do with the understated look in your opinion though. As has been said Audi don't normally market an RS car with so many adverts maybe they realise it is a little understated and needs a marketing boost? Hopefully they don't come with chains attached......Yes and even the 'basic' bottom spec A3 is an upgrade on a Subaru so I am unsure where you are going Norman,I am saying the RS3 is not understated at all with the coverage but if your opinion differs with the coverage then Audi will be miffed
Sorry where was I comparing Subaru to Audi? All I said I enjoyed the 'power' of the Subaru but never really wanted the look hence why I want the RS3. I have also had Exiges if you want to compare and contrast those too?Sorry @NormantheDog but it is a no-brainer subaru v audi
The understated look means nothing if its in the public domain via advertising or it'd be not doing its job ? That was my point about my work fellows as they have noticed the RS3
I'm not sure it's hate to be honest. I think there is a lot of covert jealousy, and the fact the people want/need/prefer an external indication that they have invested in a premium performance car.
Times however change, once upon a time, pops and bangs were indicative of poor timing, bad valve seats or an inlet manifold leak. It was indicative of a poor state of tune. Now we artificially enhance this sound and people like this......
I love the understated looks; no one is forcing me to buy an RS3, and I am the fortunate position to buy cars costing a damn sight more. In fact I came very close to buying an F Type R last year, but didn't. There's a high difference between cost and value!
Comparing your viewpoint and yes you can bring in Exiges in if you wish to…go-karts with a body and all credibility gone with exiting the carSorry where was I comparing Subaru to Audi?

F Type still only has 2 seats and I need 4I love these posts.
I can afford a much more expensive product, but choose not to as I don't want to spend that much money.
I agree though, less into cars, more into property! Unless those cars are depreciation proof that is.
Why didn't you order the F Type? They are absolutley superb cars. Well worth the premium for a custom built sports car. Would have considered one if I didn't need a set of rear seats for my daughter,
Do you think the £50k or whatever you are spending on the RS3 (which is, after all, an A3 that has had upgrades) is actually value for money?
