Thats kinda a shady photo chop....but hey looks like they would like to see the Nogaro Blue come back!!!!! I like the direction that Audi is getting back to. The TT was a pig and a wimpy cruiser. I'm sooooo glad I didn't buy the older one before the S2K.

MrClean has a 3.2L DSG TT that I am a fan of. I really think that the 3.2 cars are worth owning. BTW the new 2.0T is no dog and with a simple flash they are around 280HP. The only bitch is that the new TT with the 2.0T is only offered in FWD

I like it. Back end looks like P car. Blue color helps too.

WOW!

Love the look, the stance and those quad pipes out the back! I hope the actual one is close to that because the standard TT does not really move me enough to want to buy it. Granted, I have not seen it in person, but this one shows signs of hope for the Audi enthusiast.

EDIT:
Just read this...
"The TT RS is expected to be launched in late 2008 in Europe and base price will start at about $75,000."

I don't see myself paying $75k for any TT, RS or otherwise.

Speaking from experience, the TT is no pig compared to most of Audi's cars. Contrary, it's one of the lightest models in the Audi lineup and runs faster than most sedans at the track. In fact, the TT is just about as quick as the S2000 at Mid Ohio. The steering is precise, tracks with great stability and the brakes on the 3.2 are not bad at all. Just to be clear, I don't take offence to what you said, but think your comment is not accurate from what I have experienced.
I just recently drove a 02 TT 225hp Roadster, which is the one I call "the pig". The steering seemed very sluggish. I just didn't have the nimble confidence of the S2000. The TT may be the lightest Audi car, but its still a tad under 3400 lbs! The S2000 comes in at around 2800 lbs. The power to weight ratio should be pretty clear. I know, I know, the torque and the usuable torque range!!!
I haven't driven a 3.2 as of yet, so I guess my experiences only reference the 1.8T.

Mind you, I am a huge P car fan (as are you I see!) and if I could have afforded a 996 or even a Boxster S, I would have one already in place of the S2000! I guess my point is that I like the S2000 for what it is, not just a S2000 shill.
