And to think the most exciting thing I saw at a New York Auto Show two years ago was the Maserati GT. Which I then saw a few months later on a New Jersey highway in Newark.

New York Auto Show equals lame.

All that an no pictures of Wes' ass?

Sadness is overtaking me.

Good job on the coverage yesterday. Through the haze of sickness (I'm not quite dead yet) I was able to every now and then feed my Jalopcrack addiction.

There are a lot of exciting cars in Geneva, much more than Detroit.

All them cars is FUGLY. I'm not kidding. Maybe the TT and the Mazda are passable, but the rest a freakin' gross.

@KaptKaos: I agree on the TT much more visually appealing than the original.

But the mazda looks like some kind of demented lamprey with that butt-fugly grill.

Hey Wes, i heard that the Polo is going to be offered in a 170hp GTI version.

also that VW is planning to bring it stateside if gas prices remain the way they are

straight from the NY Times to boot!

BTW any newer info on the Golf GTI R20? i mean any sneak peaks before its official debut? or any updates on the regular GTI?

If you're actually in Geneva, which I think you are, I recommend the Château de Chillon, probably the most beautiful place I've ever been.

An Audi with a fire-breathing turbo inline-5? All is right with the world.

Okay, not all, but there's quite a bit less wrong now.

Maybe not in white. Wicked matte black, maybe.

And the rear is too generic. Could be any damn jelly bean from the rear. Which is how most of us would be seeing it.

Am I the only one not impressed...this is the top of the line TT as of now above the regular TT and TTS and only puts out 335hp for $60,000

when you can get a STOCK BASE MODEL 370Z with 332hp for $29,000

if the stock TT had those specs than that would be impressive, but it took three chances for them just to compete....lame

@mricyfire: You can't just convert british pounds to dollars and call it a day.

The 350Z (they don't list the 370 on their site) costs $26,729 pounds sterling in the UK, which would mean that the 350 would have to sell for $37,538 base model in the states based on your calculations.

And, uh. It doesn't.

@KinOfCain: @

And still you fail to tell me why it is a good buy.

The TT starts at $35,000 the TTS starts at $45,000 so it is a safe bet that the TTRS is going to be at least $55,000 base.

SO there I still call it a day and the Z still cost just about half for the same specs on their base model, imagine if the where to up it like a Spec-V...

basically the TTRS is a complete waste of money and brings nothing new to the table... and it is still pretty sad that the third TT model puts out such low stats for such high price.

@mricyfire: It competes with the Porsche Cayman, so the price is reasonable. If you actually shopped this market segment, you would find that the performance envelope compares favorably to its competitors. With regard to comparison to any 30K car, I'm afraid driving a powerful AWD manual Audi is a completely different experience. Unsurprisingly. It is a good buy to someone like me, who is looking at things like Caymans, M3's or in this case a TT-RS. I especially like the 2+2 TT Coupe design, as I have a couple small kids. Simply, there is no other comparable design. The others do luxury performance in a little bit differently, albeit in their own uniquely excellent fashion.

I can't keep up with the press releases. I'm home sick and need to go lay down.

This car looks like it will go down on my list of cars to look at in 25 years when I go into my mid-life crisis. That's not a slam at all. I like it a lot, but my next car is going to need a few more doors.

I do have one question, though. What is the name of that color? Master Race White?

Shadooby. Shattered.

I love this one. Very Stormtroopery. Or needs a giant black "UN" on the door.

I love the current Audi grille. I know alot of people hate it, but it looks so aggressive.

Its almost as cool as those Australian Ford grilles. You know, the ones on the FPVs? They remind me Alice Cooper.

All Motown, a little gay.
