Saw my first MkII TT on the road yesterday...
I'm probably the last one here to actually see the new TT in the flesh.
I thought it was nice, but it didn't move me in the way that the MkI did. It didn't leave me feeling like, "Hey, I want that!" which was the way that I felt when I ordered my first TT sight unseen from the 2000 Neiman Marcus Holiday catalog. The new TT sort of looked like Audi and Nissan designed it jointly, to my eyes anyway.
No disrespect intended to the the MkII owners. It's probably a better car from a technical standpoint and I wouldn't mind owning one a bit. It just doesn't have quite the same feel to it, for me.

same feeling
I saw one driving by and it didn't stand out in the crowd. I felt bad after it passed -- as if I should have waved, but to be honest, I didn't even realize what it was until it was right past me. Just another face in the crowd, now.

From a technical standpoint...
I can tell you that the mk2 is DEFINITELY better - or at least more - in terms of technology. It's got more bells and whistles. Some of the new toys are nice, others didn't do it for me.
You hit the nail on the head with the first impression. I felt the same way when I saw my first TT years ago. I had to find out what it was all about and I wanted one. I think the new TT really is a better car, but I'm keeping my mk1. Nothing compares to it. Course...us mk1 owners are all probably biased anyway

Funny you say that >>
Down at TT East this year I noticed "eTTie's" red coupe driving along so I sped up a bit to catch up to him. Turns out that the car I passed catching up to eTTie was the new mk2 coupe Kris Hansen was driving. I noticed it a little further down the road in my rearview mirror. hehe...oops!
