Ultimately, only time will tell. I'm curious to see some real performance testing and the $$$.
I'm glad I have my deposit in though. Worse comes to worse, I'll just get a 996TT.

I am a "hater" of this car, but I will reserve final judgment until I see it in the metal...
I thought the new TT might look good - saw one today... not too impressed.
I think I'd still go for an RS4 over the BMW - more my style.

wow, so it's finally here 
0-100 in 4.8, it should do better than that imo..
I'm not sure about the looks yet, seing a car in person changes it all. guess you'll get used to the hoodbump and side vents. the rims are really nice!
edit: messed around a little to create merge of the new m and old csl

I agree. That said, I trust the M badge and wouldn't have a problem with one being controlled by my right foot.
