I can't think many people would want the 225 with the old 1.8 when the new 2003 TT's will have a v6 starting at 240 hp and going to 350.

Default The article as typed reads early next year the current TT gets a v6

Early next year the current TT will get a 3.2 litre V6 and an innovative twin-clutch manual gearbox. This will be carried over to the new model and the V6 will come in three strengths: 240, 280 and 350 bhp, the latter with a turbo. The cheaper Tango won't get the V6 engines and there'll also be a 136 bhp entry-level version.

This seems to indicate that the TT gets a v6 in 2003. In 2004/5 the new TT comes out - and the Tango replaces the current TT.

What article? Late 2004 with release of the 2005 models that the TT gets the v6 and longer wheelbase to handle the weight distribution etc..

Default Well don't always believe what you read in magazines - even CAR which has

very good sources. Most of what they talk about is in EUROPE - not in the US. Smart money is on an announcement in Geneva in March 2003 - which means that IF something is released in Europe - that the US will get it as a late 2004 model (read spring 2004) and most likely in very limited quantities.
