Why does the M235i have a M badge all over it if it's not really a M car? People get way to worked up with the Haldex thing. Even if in theory it doesn't sound like a good idea in the real world it works perfectly fine

Because 'Quattro' is Audi marketing language for their AWD systems.

Haldex, Torsen, etc... Audi calls all of them Quattro.

Not really news here.

If it makes it to our shores in hatch form, I will buy one. This RS3 sportback is the perfect car for me on paper. If it makes it here in sedan form, I'll pass.

So bland, and I reckon this will extend into the way it feels when you behind the wheel too.
Cannot deny its outright performance credentials though. It will be absolutely monsterous with the slightest of work done.
Props to Audi on that front, straight line stats looking good.
