Bring me the S3 Audi! - Apoc - 09-30-2008
:drool:
Audi S3 gets 7-speed DSG
Audi made a bit of a splash earlier this year with the announcement that the new-for-'09 S3 would be available in either the three-door style or the more practical Sportback five-door hatch. Equipped with a high-pressure 2.0-liter turbo engine with 265-horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, the S3 can scoot to sixty in just 5.5 seconds, all while getting nearly 30 miles per gallon. ... Sadly, the whole S3 package is available only in Europe.

No different from a slushbox IMO, even auto upshifted if you let it go up near redline.
I guess its ok on the street, but an auto is too.
anyway, aside from that, it looks good, although still pretty plain looking. And for some reason the LED eyelashes on all the new audis really annoy me.
