Default The TT rip offs are now in full swing...

If you are a TT fan, and you must be, pick up the 1/2000 issue of C&D. As we already know the TT was named to the Ten Best list and there is also a TT Quattro review. But you need to check out the coverage of the Tokyo Auto show. One quote from C&D "Perhaps the most blatant of several Audi TT rip-offs was this cute roadster...." they are taling about the Daihatsu Kopen. JIM

Default I'm just waiting for bigger car companies dig into the look of the TT...

the Eclipse touches upon it... but... it could have been.... a.. coincidence? NAhhhh!

Did C&D or R&T ever comment upon the gas caps between the two? AutoWeek?

Jim,
Isn't it amazing how many of the concept cars shown in the "C&D" issue resemble our TT's in one way or another?

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"????
Aarrgghh!! Personally, I'll keep THE ORIGINAL, thank you very much!!

Yes, you can see styling ques everywhere, subtle though they may be, the TT is the best, I agree. (nt)

Default I woulda bought an eclipse, but...

The eclipse was the first thing I looked at to replace my Eagle Talon...I liked that car, and...damn...it was SO good in the snow. (awd, of course).
Y2K eclipse?...sexy looking I thought...AWD? What, no AWD? 4 banger + turbo? What? A v6? (Well, that would solve the turbo lag problem...).
Then I saw and drove a Raven black TT.
Sorry Mitsubishi. You lose.

Default Re: I woulda bought an eclipse, but...

When I decided it was time for the (affordable) sports car purchase, I really latched onto the 2000 Eclipse. Test drove it, liked it. Got my wife in it for a 2nd test drive, she pointed out the negatives, mostly on quality issues, "fit and finish". So I looked around again and "found" the TT (obviously I hadn't been doing my homework). We've repeated the process and I think she rather enjoyed being at the wheel... Course the price is a bit higher, but the TT is so much better. Now just have to decide to take the financial plunge - and maybe wait a few months!
Wish me luck on my decision and patience for the wait, I really like the TT.
