Now, I'm hearing all TT variants (TT, TTS, TTRS) will be ended. Soon. Maybe 2019 will be made... but then?

Smoke 'em while you got 'em.
With a facelift comming in 2019, your rumor sounds unlikely - see https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/n...di-tt-facelift

It wouldn't surprise me. I doubt they'll cancel the current generation, though. They already spent the certification cost etc., so I'm pretty sure they gonna try to recoup that by continue to sell the current generation, but there might not be a next generation. Just like the R8. They are not gonna cancel the current R8, but it's pretty much confirmed that there won't be a next generation. R&D is a sunk cost and unless each sale is a loss which I doubt, it doesn't make much sense to stop selling them now.

I don't know how quickly they would kill the TT. The killed a lot of their racing programs but turned to a grassroots support program. The TT fits into that model.
They rebranded Quattro to Audi Sport which is just getting rolling. They've begun bringing more RS models to the US. With the death of the R8 I think it's likely the TT might stick around awhile., plus it's on a shared platform.
That prototype club sport car was built for a reason, maybe a consideration for a more powerful TT when the R8 is gone.

Keep in mind that the Brit's love the TT and buy more than anyone. It's not all about US of A.

I would hate to see the TT going away but if it does then I can certainly understand why. The sports-luxury coupe (and 2+2) is a tiny segment of the overall market and is extremely competitive and crowded. The TT is unique and certainly deserves more sales then it gets but the market wants what it wants and right now it seems to want (mostly) lifted station wagons and trucks.

Hope they don't kill it, but I'm glad to see all the love for eTron on here! I too would buy a hybridized TT so fast...
