news (rs3, ttq)

["Dave Eaton" <Dave.Eaton@clear.net.nz>]

talking to my local dealer (who has just taken 2 $80k deposits on the
merc/mclaren gtr)...

1) the 300hp ttq is coming apparently, although rhd build dates and number
are not definite according to the salesman.  expect middle next year.

2) the rs3 looks like it is definite, but is likely to only be released
after the 300hp ttq so as not to cannibalise sales of the tt.  the rs3 will
have around 250-280hp apparently with a different haldex program and
suspension modifications etc.

3) the rs4 is coming down-under.

other item of interest is the confirmation that fuji has put subaru up for
sale.  rumours have gm and ford as interested parties at this stage.
