I hope they make it the same as the last RS...
Available in one colour only, and a limited number produced.

Maybe I'm going to sound like an old fart but it looks too lairy, almost boyracer.

In a decent colour like Black it would probably look a bit more respectable. Will wait till I see one in the metal till I decide properly if I like it

Weight.

With 4wd the car would have been a lot heavier and no more powerful.

Better traction doesn't always mean the vehicle is faster.



BMW offer 4wd models on the continent, they're slower than the RWD counterparts with the same engines.

Its a lot better looking anyway, and in theory should be quicker in a straight line from a rolling start... so motorway races.

would it be wrong to buy an rs instead of a house don't think the missus would be too happy about that, but it does look a lot better than anything else i've seen brought out recently. much more radical and dramatic, exactly how it should be.

Its just a metaphor to try and describe how sharp/focused/agressive the rs is compared to the st.

I can't wait for it to come out. My dad has pretty much had his order confimed and hopefully i'll be able to persuade him for a wee shot when he gets it

Awful. Ugly. Beyond gay. Seats are rank.

Resembles a half sucked chocolate lime too.

My cheeky question wouldn't be, ''why isn't it four wheel drive?'', it would be, ''why IS it front wheel drive and why is it so insanely ugly?''
