My biggest gripe w/ any of the MBQ stuff is the FWD bias. Supposedly better in the new RS3 but that's the same problem the AMG CLA has. VW's ring record aside I don't fundamentally believe in that much torque up front. I spoke with head of AMG about it at length when the CLA was launched - you can do all sorts of fancy computer traction control shit to overcome some of the problems but you're still putting bandaids on an underlying disadvantage in my mind. The C43 or xDrive setup is inherently much better w RWD bias.
