Interesting, I'll take a look

EDIT: The sports package and sports + package appear to be independent from the black optic package.

I don't know what the manual is like, but as an AWD beater/cruiser, I definitely like the B9. I don't know that it will be more entertaining than the GTI, though. I think you'll get a lot of what you liked about the GTI+AWD, but it'll still be boring.

Did anyone suggest an S3 ??

There's a P.A. at my work who drives one. OMG, she's a smokin' hot brunette with a killer body, smart as all hell, and LOVES drinking high-end beers.

I mostly suggested an S3 because she IS a smokin' hot brunette with a killer body, smart as all hell and LOVES drinking high-end beers, LOL.

But seriously, her most attractive feature is she is extremely friendly, and as an added bonus, loves to give hugs.

I would really like to learn more about the S3. Can I have her phone number? You know...... to talk about the S3.


PS: If the S3 came in a manual transmission I'd likely own one by now.

She's married.

But she'll gladly talk about her S3 and how she was racing a couple of doctors in their Porsches and BMWs over a pitcher of beers.



BTW, we call her "Unicorn"....for obvious reasons.

The RS3 is interesting but all the money. Not sure I'd spring for one even if it had a stick.

The way I'd configure it, it would be a $47,000 boring beater.
