When will Audi start to show pictures etc. for the 2020 model year? From what it looks like online the interior will be updated to be similar to the 2019 Q3 with an updated exterior look.

Really like to get some pics and specs BEFORE my 2019 gets here, if it has more HP and that STUPID screen goes away I may just wait for the 2020..........IF it has the wing and these wheels be very hard not to wait as we still don't have a "real firm" date

Sinister#4,

And that buddy is going to be the ongoing issue not having confirmed information until for most of us it will be way-way to late.
Can you just imagine going to our Audi dealers and trading in these brand new 2019 RS3's we have all been waiting for so long.
And even if a few of us did do that can you, in your wildest-dreams, just imagine what that new 2019 RS3 is going to get as a Trade-in-Credit on the 2020 ???
I just did something similar owning a new 2K mile 1 year old Hellcat and trading it in on the 2019 RS3.
I think and I did say think off the top of my head it cost me like $25,000.00 US dollars.
I highly doubt it would be much different trading a new RS3 on the next Model year.

Unless "Before" and I do mean way the heck "Before" we actually take delivery and there was MAJOR-CHANGES to the 2020 RS3 it might then be worth cancelling and reordering.

I'm pretty sure this old man is going to take his 2019 RS3 when it finally arrives and be a Happy Camper as some people say.

Oh it would have to be before I paid for the 2019 for sure, once its paid for we will keep it for at least 4 years, no way i'll take a hit trading it in that soon

Hmmmm, not really a fan of the more "organic" looking body lines, looks too much like an M2 for my tastes I like the harder lines on the current model...

Also not a big fan of the more conventional air vents vs the round ones.

My only gripe with the screen is that it's not a touch screen, but oh well.

That’s the Clubsport concept from several years ago that predated (and previewed) the current RS3 sedan. I think the new RS3 will take the latest styling cues the R8 and new S6/S7 have shown (e.g., wider, more angular grill, triangular side vents, etc.). The interior would probably look a lot like the Q3, maybe a bit more upscale... still prefer the existing A3/S3/RS3 design.

No way Audi is going to release a 2020 "all new" S3/RS3 model when the 2019 is not even out. It will be probably 2 years.

Ah, nice -- yeah I like how angular Audi is, I don't like what BMW and Mercedes are doing lately as far as body lines.

Nate,

Agreed buddy ^^^

Should have titled thread 2020 A3 / S3. The RS3 won't come out for a couple years again the 2019 at a minimum with the delays. No delays with 2019 A3 - S3 so the 2020 will likely be released late summer I imagine.
