Edmunds Test Drives the "Astonishing" TT Roadster

Edmunds Test Drives the
The first Audi TT roadster, which appeared as a production car in 1999, didn't invent retro styling, but its simple beauty inspired the rest of the auto industry to adopt styling themes from the past.

Like the original Audi TT, the new 2008 Audi TT Roadster resonates with that retro spirit. It's a carefully crafted shape, one that continues the mission of the original but still manages to look fresh and clean.

Unlike the first TT, however, the 2008 Audi TT Roadster isn't only about eye appeal. It also drives with attitude thanks to all-new engineering, which has transformed it from a styling exercise into a real driver's car.

As much as I hate Volkswagen, I have to say, the TT has a pretty good look to it. I like the coupe better, though.

IT'S NOT A VOLKSWAGEN.

Why do you do this to yourself? You're just provoking us to call Lexi the dreaded TOYOTAS.

As I recall it, you call a Lexus a Toyota. Just returning the favor.

some toy that wins car of the year for multiple magazines and newspapers...Sydney Morning Herald Car of The Year too - seems to be unstoppable this car, and especially Audi!

I have to agree with CommonSense...it really does look like a toy.

And for "Edmunds" to say it's astonishing...well...that's like a Walmart rep saying Hershey's chocolate is world class.

Yes, the new Audi TT has won like 10 awards, it is a fine automobile for sure.

Does Audi ever STOP winning awards? I'm pretty sure the A6 had more awards than any other car from 2004-2006. It seems like they're definitely the least image-reliant, most intelligent brand out there.
