I like it quite a bit... matter of fact... very well may be my next car.
This could make for a nice upscale alternative to a maxed out Jetta GLI without going all in for an A4 or S4. I guess if you don't like hatchbacks? Seems like there's too many sedan options though. The A3/S3 option was nice only in hatchback form.

"The newly minted A3 faces immediate challenge from box-fresh small premium sedans like the Mercedes-Benz CLA and the Acura ILX, as well as players like the Buick Verano and the Lexus CT200h."
It looks good, but what's its market?
Steering wheel and seats = sex. My buddy at the Audi dealer already knows I'm very interested to see one of these when they come out. I'd imagine the brakes and engine are from the R?
I would assume so too, which is why I'm confused why it's almost $10k more.
