haha classic

@Half the wheels, twice the fun: yes but the cruze isn't that much higher on the pecking order..

@ThePerfectShift: see the little thing under my auto union avatar? that looks like an outline of a heart.. click it! and see what happens

@EtrnL_Frost: maybe this is why i don't get Top Gear USA since i am not American and i don't the uniquely 'merican feel, i get the 99 cent value meal from mcdonalds feel to be honest. Maybe they need to make top gear canada haha.

@Doc_V: i agree 110% i have err umm pirated all 15 seasons of top gear for years now and not one episode of top gear USA is anywhere near as good as the worst Top Gear UK episodes.

you may be able to hack the fob on my A3 but you arn't getting passed the immobiliser in the laser cut key that quickly, and at that point i ask you why are you stealing a VW GTI in audi clothes?

@From a Buick 6: the DSG transmission is the next best thing, i agree manual should be an option but at least its not slushbox only

I really would love if this car came to north america yes it will be pretty damn $$$ for an A3 but as a current A3 owner, i would love to have that inline 5 powering my car. also it could be quite i sleeper especially with a simple ECU tune from APR

@chromal: not just that but how can you only mange 335 HP out of a 7 litre!

funny enough Top Gear likes it on the track... off the track not sooo much. i do agree with the transmission feeling like a tractor, i test drove one loved the performance but wasn't impressed with the transmission that much.

@d3v: haha i was thinking the same thing.

@McMike: Hey!

top gear had a good idea i would watch this!

@Buckus: it worked for top gear

nice to see another jalopnik car pack for the better of the two racing sim games.

forza 3 GT5 IMO, for a game that took so long to make its quite disappointing to see so many short falls.

@pres: you are not alone as well i played GT5 for a while put in forza 3 and still feel forza 3 is a much better game.

to be honest i am quite disappointed everything seems to be more complex then it needs to be, The game just doesn't feel as right as forza 3. Also is it me or is there a serious lack of cars in this game?

@MΩJΩ: 7/10 i would think, its still not the best car show US style. Its an ok car show.

@MountainK1ng: The TTRS is (which is the same car basically) so i am sure they will offer something down the road. Also if you want to talk about performance oriented version a DSG tranny will out shift anyone so then technically this is the performance oriented verison..??
