As title says..
I am on look out for a new car.. I want to get it ordered by Oct and would ideally like it start of next year..
Few conditions,
Its must be brand new
Not silly on insurance / Fuel (ie no Evo's or Scoobies)
I really cant decided.. I am seriously tempted by the new S3, however from the outside it doesnt look OVERLY different from the standard A3 3 door..
I want something I can keep standard but still looks / drives well..
Any ideas??

Yea.. Might be tempted to a saloon if it is decent..
I have been tempted by the Volvo C70 as I can get these VERY cheap.. However it would have to be the T5 version and then thats getting to the top of my budget, even with my decent discount!
