Yeah, I can't stand the guy.

I remember reading about the US 335d too when I had one; well down on power and partially run on urea!

Having said that our incoming VW California needs AdBlue which is basically urea; eyyyooooo!

The plot thickens on the actual HP the RS puts out

See the update with link in the first post, but the actual number at the crank may be waaaay less than the advertised 350HP.

Some serious delays at the port, too.

I'm glad I didn't buy an RS, and the M2 is still in the top 3 for me:

1. M2
2. Corvette Grand Sport
3. CLA45 AMG
4. Used TT RS

Interesting. I'd think 290-300whp would be perfectly normal, as Subaru's usually lost around 60hp to the drivetrain, but it seems to "overboost" once and then not anymore?

I priced one and it came out to 51k. I walked out laughing.
