Changes to the 2014 model aren't that significant, but we know fans of the brand will want to see them.

The new RS flagship has a redesigned front end, with less F1 fakery and a larger upper grille and emblem. In fact, the badge is so big now, you'd think somebody at Mercedes designed it.

No changes to the 2.0-liter turbo engines have been announced. It still makes 265 PS and is still connected to the a manual. But the interior appears to have a new R-link system, so there's hope.

So what do you guys think, is it worth the wait, or are you putting your money on the Focus ST and Golf GTI already?

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
