I really can't tell at all yet --- all my hopes were centered around driver engagement and how it handles on a track. Still zero credible information about any of these.

But the apparent formula of extra weight, more power, AWD, ZF8 and marketing to the 'fast&furious' crowd doesn't bode well.

I can maybe get over the looks - but this car needs to differentiate itself from an RS5 or AMG C63S by the way it handles. If it doesn't then I would take the Audi. Or wait and see what they do to the M2.

And if I can convince my significant other that we only need 2 seats then I'm out of here!
