Default keep the body in tact without change...engine would be ok to update.

If they were to go like other makes where they change lenses, creases, flares trim etc... forget it and stop production now.

Default Continue in its current form with some improvements

I have a 225 TTR and would like to see the following improvements, while maintaining the current form of the car:

- get rid of the DAMN SPOILER (it REALLY spoils the lines)
- loose the manual tonneau cover and replace with a build-in automatic lid (like MB SL 500 / CLK 320 etc.)
- add an armrest (like the one sold by Stratmosphere)
- better mechnism for the little compartment door between the seats (I keep accidentally opening it with my elbow)
- bigger engine (6 cyl. turbo > 320 HP) with new CVT transmission from the A4/A6 line and quattro
- make Demin Blue available on the TTR!!!

- Improve the dealership experience (that doesn't just go for the TT though)

There might be more, that's what I can think of right now.

Default Would love to see them pull the plug on Gyor plant. Not planning to put many many miles on,

unless/until Audi goes to V6, then will trade up...and the cycle starts anew. :^)

Default The new VR line of engines will have all alloy blocks and will debut in 2003 in Europe along with

with FSI. VAG will move to all alloy engines throughout the range by 2004. I'll take an all alloy VR6 anyday over a 4 cylinder. Especially when the VR6 in cast iron only weighs 90lbs more than the current 1.8T.
