The Murillo Brown looks much nicer in your photo's than the stock Audi marketing. They should hire you!

Oh, and in deference to getting us back on the thread subject - If you want a quick, great handling, Quattro sedan with a quality Audi interior get the S3. But if you want a superlative sportscar which also has excellent day to day practicality get the TTS. That was easy.

Wait, am I to understand that I can add that nifty leather cowl to a non-design select TT? oOOOo....

A number of people have done it, post-purchase, by ordering the part thru a dealership parts department. I don't believe it can be ordered from the factory outside of the Design Select however.

I personally like the fact that the virtual cockpit is only behind the steering wheel in the TT/S. I was at the Canadian International Car Show yesterday and hubby test drove the new Q5. It has the virtual cockpit plus the added MMI screen. I find it redundant and I don't care for the look of (what looks like) a tablet plopped onto the centre dash. I really love the clean/minimalist look of the TT interior.

My tall and skinny 15 yr old son very happily folds himself into the back of the TT if we're driving one of his friend's home. If the kids are under 10, it's not too bad and now is your chance to steal some time in a sportcar while they're still little!

Huey - thanks for posting that.

Audi - those are the worst instructions for installation I've ever seen, and this is coming from a master Ikea furniture builder.

Canadian RS3 pricing leaked from several sources starting at $63K Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet
In the past, US pricing of Audi RS models between Canada and the US do not follow the exchange rate and US models in US$ are about 8% less than the Canada $ price. That puts the US RS3 at around $57.5K US. Sounds pretty expensive and quite a bump over the S3. I would expect the TTRS to be at least $5K more and probably closer to $10K.

I'm 6'2" and the B pillar in the S3 was a show stopper. Where I had to put the seat meant I had to get past the B pillar getting in and out, and I am not talking just a little bit.
