I just got Jed of Mobile Reflections to give the TT his "new car protection package" last night. Needless to say it looks incredible. Jed really knows his stuff and goes the extra mile (extra light year really) for his customers. Highly recommended!!!
The base Cayman interior I agree is kinda not that great, but actually if you option it heavilly (Porsche philosophy seems to be to sell every option individually) it actually looks pretty awesome. You can basically get every part wrapped in leather with double stitching and other parts converted to aluminum. The leathers offered are also great (like cocoa).
The problem is that you won't ever see that car on the road because nobody orders all those tiny options, they add up too quickly $$$$$
My pops got every option but navi and that track timer clock on his, and its decent, but for how much it costs the TT blows its interior away...Now dont get me wrong, its a nice interior and the leather is freakin' top notch, and i gave then stereo a better listen today..Its not as bad as I thought, but then again ive only had my stock 'yota stereo to listen to for the last 6 months
i actually JUST got back from driving said cayman out to bragg creek and back...jesus what a fun car....buyout isnt that bad..only a couple years away!

But yeah, i dont think Kor is saying more is better either...just that audi/vw are really starting to get behind on numbers, and regardless of whether its a better product or not, they WILL start losing market share unless they get in line with the other brands
I agree completely. There is already talk of a TT-S coming out soon. Thoughts on engines include the 265hp 2.0TFSI from the S3, a 5 cylinder turbo engine coming in around 280hp, a tweaked 3.2 or maybe even the 3.6 (although there seems to be disagreement of whether this is possible in a transverse layout). It seems pretty definite that the 2.0TFSI of the base model will be bumped to 230hp like the 30th anniversary GTI.
Edit: and if I really needed power right now, I could spring for one of these kits!
Ah, sorry... I mean any VAG 3.2 that gets 250hp. Lots of others do. I agree that 250 is a little on the low side, but whattaya do? I am not the type to discredit a car because it has a few less HP than a competitor. To me, horsepower wars are like megapixel wars (cameras). Sure, in the right circumstances, more is better. But more does not necessitate better. All of the other factors play into the decision. I am sure Audi will put more power into the TT within 1 or 2 model years.
As per Audi's web site, power for the 3.2 in the TT is:
Max Output 250 hp @6,300 rpm
Torque 236 lb-ft @2,500-3,000 rpm
Yeah im with bill here, the cayman is what? 295 with a NA 3.2? but you cant even compare the interiors of the 2 cars..TT is dead ass sexy where as the cayman interior feels cheap for a ~90,000 car (granted, things like the seats in the porsche are fantastic, but there is alot of plastic and the stereo is absolute garbage...although that may be due to me holding steady at like 5k RPMs in a mid-engine car haha)
