Absolutely gorgeous car! That character line that runs the length of the car really highlights the differences in color between sun and shadow. Gorgeous! Unfortunately I am 6'2", and simply don't fit in the backseat of an A3 or S3.

Why on earth do you want to sit in the back seat?!?

Timmay has assisted in helping me chose the color of RS3; delivery date unknown. I have a Mythos Black S3 now, which is awesome as well. Just a bit tougher to keep clean. Was leaning toward the red as shown in so many online reviews but didn't want a 'hey, look at me' color. Daytona grey is really gorgeous and does appear to be quite different in varying light. I also will sport the black optics package as on Timmay's car. Thanks again Timmay!

No problem, my pleasure Fixeroh!
Btw, are there any wheel options for the RS3? I've only seen the one style and I guess that's one of those personal taste sort of things but if I'm gonna be honest I'd rather have the wheels on my S3 placed on the RS3. I think the TT RS has the same style as the S3's Black Optic 19's but are staggered?

There are a few wheel options for the RS3. And it seems most people are not big fans. Me included. With the BO package, we get this 5 blade design with a darker color between the blades essentially. TTRS gets a 20 inch option which the RS3 does not see and the wheel looks totally different and very cool! Not sure if they are using the staggered setup on the TTRS. Think the suspension may be slightly different and not required with the TTRS. I actually prefer the wheels on my current S3 to the ones available on the RS3. Sure the RS3 wheels will grow on my me and I damn sure can't see spending big money on new wheels right after getting a new car. The bigger argument seems to be the lack of rotating tires capability of the staggered setup with the RS3. I concur. However, I run a separate set of winter wheels and tires for the winter months which does save the summer set somewhat.

I may have misstated earlier. I first mentioned the TT RS but I remembered seeing a TT S at my dealer with Black Optic package and I believe THAT car had the same wheels as my S3 which makes sense. Unfortunately I can't remember but they looked bigger, perhaps even 20s.
