In terms of aesthetics, the car is pretty from angles, but I don't think it has a significant, continuous form. The gestalt impression it leaves is a bit jagged and uncouth.
Perhaps only with sharply contrasting colors; wonder what it would look like in a darker homogenous hue?

In terms of performance, it clearly offers a beautiful engine that should sound lovely, to accompany a stiff chasis and an advanced 4WD (Audi's performance cars have been inching towards more RWDish Quattro to compete in their respective classes e.g. RS4-->M3).

I'm still up in the air with its price (is it 90k USD or 110k? Anyone with anything concrete?), but if it is near the C2s, it will definitely cause a market sway.

Congrats on the wait spot Ron, I'm sure you're gonna love it. Just please get the 6MT
