Default Looks great! Hopefully the 250hp VR will be available in a stick >>>

Any word on pricing? I had read previously that the next TT was going to use aluminum extensively; that makes me think high $$.

Default I don't know, but I think that new A5 is looking better than the new TT

Default The new TT looks too much like a Chrysler Crossfire for my tastes.

I'm sympathetic to the designers, though. The original TT has become an icon and icons tend to be hard to improve. But the A5 looks pretty cool and the VW stuff is evolving nicely.

Mercedes and Maybach apparently consider Batman to be their primary target market. Do you suppose the SLT will come in flat black with a guided missile feature? I have to admit I'm looking forward to seeing one of these critters on the road--pretty wild stuff. The Alfa Romeo is nicely done.

Styling-wise, BMW has completely lost their way. The new 3 series is a step down from the previous version, the Z4 looks like a failed science project (I can't find a single line on that thing that works, can you?) and the X6 looks like a Ford Focus with a body kit. What the heck are they putting in the water in Munich?

For sheer sexiness and ability to stop traffic I'll take a Porsche Cayman in black, please. Reowwwrrrrr. Send your winning lottery tickets to Zonkola!

Default But as far as I can tell none of us has actually seen what the next TT looks like...

and the Cayman to my eyes looks very awkward from most angles. Need to see that one in the tin before making judgement tho.
I agree with you tho, the new 3-series is a mess. I saw one in a parking lot and I thought it was a new Saab.
