    I dig it.

    It's got a nice character, unlike the last one (that had aids).

    I like how all the articles of new hot hatches say "to compete with the Golf GTI".

    That must mean we've already made a good choice.

    True that, but BOOOI they are so roomy. Traveling in them is just so chilled and relaxing.

    And you can fit a large (not legal though) amount of people in.

    I believe Brabus offered a package for them too....

    The information I've been given by our AMG dealer is that the A45 is scheduled to arrive in Australia in late 2013. Apparently it'll be a 2.0l Turbo engine, AWD and be good for a low 5-second sprint to 100kph. It's expected to arrive somewhere in the $80-90K mark depending on what ends up being included as the standard config.

    Seems like it will be pitched at buyers of the Audi S3 / RS3 / BMW 1M rather than the Golf R / BMW 135.

    Since when are people willing to pay $90k for a hatchback vehicle?? i don't see myself paying even $70k might as well add another 10-20k and get a nice convertible.
