Wraps come off Audi's new TT

It's not bad looking at all, but the purity of the original styling is completely gone. Still a nice car though, and the TT is a strong brand.

And those headlamps look EXACTLY like those of the Focus...

They grip... but they do lack dynamics, not that they're bad or anything, but they're not as entertaining as they could be.

Though they were much better before the demasculination of it by tweaking the suspension, stability control and adding the p*ssy spoiler on the back, before that... it was an edgy little thing. ;)

I agree. And I like the front end... I just like it a lot more than the older body style. I'd still rather an S4 wagon, though. :p

They've officially ruined the TT.

What a TT should look like:

I agree it should have been named something else... this new one just dilutes the power of the original TT's good name.

It was the 180BHP one so yep, it was only FWD. Nose heavy in corners and too unsettled on uneven surfaces (i.e. most of the UK's roads). Would love to have tried the 225BHP and the 3.2 sport of course.

Weirdly, I've seen quite a few without the wing recently. I guess they must never get out of London traffic!

It wasn't a wagon, but I saw a new RS4 saloon the other day and that thing really did look mean! The defined big grill face looks cool on all the Audi's. Particularly the W12 A8 LWB.

Edit: here we go...

They were v different. My ex had a 180 and my mother had the 225 and the difference driving wise was extraordinary.

My mother loved hers - she still reckons it was one of the best cars she's owned in snow in terms of gripping the road.

Not bad looking at all... but I appreciate the 'sleeper' nature of the wagon's looks. :p Plus, if I ever have an intense shopping trip (or a family in the far far future), then a wagon would probably offer more practicability.
 
wow, talk about messing up a classic design...that puppy's Fugly.

The old TT is sleek, simple and a touch retro--that new thing is so overwhelmed with trite stylish puffery that it really shouldn't be called a TT.

I will now refer to it as the TT vomitous coupe.
 
I think it looks like one of those new mitsubshi eclipses...
Old TT looks better i think...

(Sidenote: in Gran Turismo 4, I had a hard ass time driving some audi, s4 maybe, it didn't want to turn. Oh well, that was only for a driving test, and now I'm racing with my Pontiac GTO and Lotus Elise 111R, w00t!)

What the hell? Its looks like that new ugly mercedes-benz.
How could audi do this?!!?

Which Mercedes-Benz?


Anyways, while I find the exterior to be rather attractive and gorgeous looking, I'm not liking the interior. Looks rather "cheap" and "un-Audi-like" inside. Not impressed at all (at the interior). :mad:
 
I have to say I like it but it is lacking the spirit that the MK1 had. When I first saw the original TT (as we know it now not the one from the 50's) I new that I had to get one.

Sure the new model looks good but it can't hold a candle to the attitude, styling and or originality the old model had/has. Audi should have dropped the TT name. But it is to strong of a brand for Audi since it helped to rebuild the Audi Brand here in the US to the status they have right now.
 
Well, the jury's still out on the exterior. I do like the profile with the parallel lines in the side panel crease and the belt line.

But once again, Audi has nailed the interior design. I'm not a huge fan of the circular vents, but those have become a kind of signature of the TT. Too bad the flat-bottomed sport wheel won't be coming to the US any time soon: they're illegal :( .

Tough to beat the new RS4, one unbelievable car.

the cls500, that car is one ugly son of a gun.
 
I like it except for those horrible squinty angry headlights. It looks like a BMW or Dodge Charger. Gross

The rest of it looks like a porsche which is cool.

Looks like Jaguar X and S- Type from back, which looks like Ford Contour.

You know, the sad thing is that one of those, the X Type I think it is, the smaller one of the two was actually on the same wheelbase as the Contour. It rides as bad as the Ford Contour. It was a disgrace.

The 180's were Quattro's too, the 150's were FWD. ;)

All TT's are nose heavy, and understeer like a barge. More so since Audi softened them up after a spate of high speed crashes soon after launch.

I know he had the low-end model and my mother had a higher end one. That really didn't make him happy... :rolleyes:

hahahahahahaha.

The tell tale on the TT is the number of exhausts. ;)
