So, in essence this would be a 4-door TT. The risky part will be the price. If they want it to compete with the CLA, they risk cheapening the image of the (somehwat) iconic TT. If they price it similar to current TT, then they won't capture those looking for an stylish, value-priced, entry point to the brand, as the CLA represents for Mercedes.

Given how much the 2nd TT raped the styling of the iconic TT and the 3rd one looks like the second, Audi has nothing to lose in turning the TT into a 4 door. What I find surprising is that they still build the TT given its truly terrible sales.

Polarizing design. I kind of like it (but wouldn't buy it) but it is kind of sterile at the same time. The open ass trunk, air vents and gas cap are cheesy. Perhaps a different color would showcase gooder?
