Yep, same here. I think the same when I see an A3, a young pretender, a golf underneath, trying to be something else.

Post by: IbanezDan51 on 22 July 2011, 14:11: I wouldn't trade my R32 for much tbh. I would like the new S3/RS3 but its far more common. Yes I'd trade it for supercars and whatever else in that price range but thats a daft question.
