Keeping the dream alive.....

Count me as a longtime Audi lover, and now potential convert to the TT style with its redesign. I always felt the previous generations were too "bubbly" for me.
I'm currently driving an Audi A5, and was considering either an A7 or nex-gen S5 when it comes out in late 2017. However, both of these include the pop-up MMI screen (to be a fixed version in the nex-gen A4/S4/A5/S5), and like others have said, it really ruins the lines of the dash on the Audis for me.
With the new TTS front end looking a bit like the R8 for me and the clean interior design (and the new tech), it seriously has my attention. My only concern coming from an A5 with 3.2 6 cylinder engine, is whether the 2.0 engine will sound nice and not overly whinny, and whether the suspension won't be overly rough as a daily driver for my tastes. I guess that's why I'm waiting to test drive one once they arrive, before ordering one.

A few of us A5 owners are looking at the new TT. I considered one back in '09, but choose the A5 instead. The new TTS resolves almost every concern I had with the Mk2 TT. Hope to order a TTS this winter.

In case you haven't seen this guy posted a picture of his Glacier white roadster with Palomino: The Audi TT Forum :: View topic - Palomino Brown - Anyone got it or ordered it ?

This was exactly my situation too Can Quattro. As you know, the A5 is a beautiful vehicle and it's good to see that the Mk3 has undergone a similarly very pleasing stylistic freshening. I almost got a Mk1 back in the day so this is a bit of a finally coming home for me.
My order is still "in the bank" as well. Hoping to hear something next week.
btw: I ordered my '11 A5 the last week in December 2010 and took delivery on March 1st, so that may give you a ballpark timeframe.
