Agree , that's why may be worth waiting. Some sites say loads of body colours , haven't as yet seen alternative cabin. Not too sure about no proper dials either , and yes , most don't nowadys

Wondering about one of these

perhaps wait untill seen , and a few colours

Nice, but if it costs more than my used 3 series then I'm not interested.

Mpg and emissions - smaller turbos are supposedly better.

I struggle with small capacity engines, even though I understand the engineering. 1 is such a small number...

The last time I had a 1 litre engine was in an early 70s Mini.

I had a 1L 1984 VF1000F Interceptor




Edit: we don't have a lot of small displacement cars here. I've owned a few 4 cyl cars but they were all 2L+.

The new Audi RS6 Avant looks awesome.



If they made a lower power version (like the old S6 Avant) with a manual, I would absolutely be obliged to buy one. But even with an automatic, it's still a pretty appealing package.

Looks too ‘body kitted’ to me, but that might be what the intended market likes.
