TT Grade the new Audi TT

[Tumbo]

As we did with the S8 and S6, it would be cool to know what you all think about the new Audi TT.

I voted for number 3. It's pretty much what we expected, that is to say an evolution of the design of the first generation. I never really liked the first TT, and I'm not head over heels falling in love with this one, but I'd say it's much better than the first. There's just something about it that just doesn't appeal to me.

I never liked the old TT, in fact it was an ugly car but the new is much better. Everything looks good, except for the rear, left me wanting more.

The car is similar to the old concept car so I vote for number 3. Anyway, good improvement

I gave it a 5 because I absolutely love this car hands down.

I think next year I will trade in my A4 for one of these babies as long as I have the money.

Looks very cool and impresive to me.

Very cool, and impressive.

I wished for more...more cutting edge...more chances in the design.
But, I won't be surprised if I like the car when I see it in person-
photos are always so deceiving....
For example take a look at the TT UK
booklet (in another thread) of the car from the side...the front overhang is very short.
When you see it in other photos it's as if the front is hanging so far over the
wheels it's going to tip over.
So yeah, no cigar, but no ho-hum either.

i voted 3.
Even though it's a nice car, it is still not impressive, or at least not as impressive as the MkII. As said, it's an evolution car, not a revolution one.

In a way, I expected it to be better, though with the first car being a design icon (the essence of the car is in its design language more than its performance or its position in the Audi lineup), they couldn't do so much to it without alienating the buyers, and the owners of the previous TT.

The front is nice enough, but the rest of it doesn't do it for me. The sides look odd with that exaggerated surfacing, and the rear has barely changed, but somehow still managed to look uninspiring. Not to mention those wheels - Audi's been on a trend of making ugly wheels lately. I hope they return to their old ways.

I'll give it a 3.

seeing the new TT left me wanting so much more.

I felt like a 3 at first, but there's so many tiny details about this car that push my opinion up to a 4.

Unfortunately, as is the case with all "cool lil' detail" oriented new models, the look is bound to fade quickly. I don't feel like this new TT will have much staying power, but I think it will be the coolest car on the block for a couple year's time.

It's a very "ipressive" car, you know.

I voted 2 - I expected so much more!

The reason why I did that was because to me the front doesn't look very good, I'm not saying it's ugly, but could be much better! Also the side profile looks back for a coupe!

Although, I like the rear, a little aggresive!

Front - absolutely perfect!
Rear - nice, but not perfect.

3.

Let's face it: topping the Mk. I TT was always going to be an impossible task. It's equivalent to Ashlee Simpson trying to emulate her older sister Jessica - it's just not going to happen. So, in order to assess the TT properly, I think it's important to view the car as something completely new and erase all thoughts of the old TT. And really, if you think of it that way, the TT looks, well, amazing! The front is agressive and edgy, the side is perfectly proportioned and gives a multi-dimensional image of the car and the rear is nicely tapered and everything is flowing and seamless.

But really, the best thing about the car is that interior. Perfect. Honestly, I can't find a suitable adjective to describe it - it really is perfect. The gauges, the instrument housing, the way the center console angles towards the driver, the multi-layered look of the center console, the placement of the minor controls on the transmission tunnel, giving the center console a much cleaner look, the RS4-esque steering wheel. Just everything about it screams "Perfection!".

So, alas, it deserves a 5, but since it's just not as good as the original, a 4 has to be the grade. Ashlee may look great, but it just doesn't compare to Jessica.
