That may be true, but it's the intangible of being an RS car (like an M or AMG) that you can't replace.

Intangible is just another way of saying "it makes me feel special". That's fine, feeling special is important at these price points. But it's one of those things where you're telling yourself it is more special because it is more money.
That said, the RS3 is more special because it has a transverse inline 5. It's probably the most hardcore FWD based AWD car on the market. I dunno that's a special in a good way thing, but the new one does look the beans. And it comes in some crazy bright ass awesome colors.
