Kirk -

I looked at the TT when I was shopping for the Boxster. With the V6 and the DSG, I found the car to have a phenomenal drivetrain; where it fell short (really, really short) of the Boxster was in driving dynamics. When you drive into a corner, it drives like a front-driver. I hear the new gen ones have better weight distribution and a different torque bias (more to the rear), so the new ones may handle much better. I drove a BMW 335xi recently, and was really impressed by the "rear-drive" handling of that all wheel drive vehicle...

cheers,
Ayan
