I'm sure residuals will be just sliiiiiightly better than an Impreza and the interior/general build quality is a couple of leagues above the Subaru too... Remember that a £500 remap will boost that power considerably to a reliable level, at least, it has on previous Turbo'd VAG products and I dont see that changing now. With 290-300bhp, I'm sure it'll be plenty nippy.
Looks miles better than a 1-series.. I dont like the wheels, but apart from that, looks fine to me.

They're not the same sort of car at all.
Bit like comparing a 3.0 litre Vectra with a 3.0 litre 5 series and asking why there is a price difference when the BHP is similar.

He said "run scoobies run", it was in answer to that. Surely the people that will buy audis will continue to buy audis for the refinement and build and others will buy subarus for the cheapest thrill available.

Looks good - would like to see a front-on shot, to see how wide and aggressive it looks. Very understated as usual though. Could do with larger alloys on it. I hope the engineers behind the RS4 have worked their magic with this one's handling too.

I think it looks really good. Like the alloys.
£24,000 ?????????? More like £30k + extra's. Call it £35K easily.
Power is a disapointment. Was hoping for 300 BHP at least. At least this leaves plenty of room for a RS3. Now that I would consider !!
When they get to dealers, I'll go for a test drive.

So, will the S40 be traded in for one? 
That said, a mate of mine has had the new C70 for the last couple of days (folding hard-top) and that is the dogs...

The whole package does look very nice though. I wonder what it weighs?
