I know it's not going to change, but it needs to be said.
Just because it's been accepted as a "normal" trend for BMW doesn't make the UKL platform any less disrespectful to the ethos of BMW.
I think you'd say the same about the A3/S3 and granted it's at a premium price but in my mind the saving grace of the RS3 is that 5. Yes the FWD Haldex Quattro bullshit is less than ideal, but they did smash a hell of an engine into the thing.

Can't mistake us for the general car driving / buying public. Everything that we don't like about this car they either don't care or more likely than not are completely oblivious to. If the car looks nice, has all the doodads they want and at the right price point end of discussion.
