Audi TT: Inspiration for the "super coupes 2005"list

The Audi TT inspired Dan Lienert from Forbes for his yearly list of "super coupes".

In Steely Dan's song "Things I Miss the Most" (2003), the protagonist talks about what he has been doing since his breakup, in lines such as "I lie on the couch 'til suppertime" and "I'm building the Andrea Doria out of balsa wood." The chorus is particularly funny:

The talk.
The sex.
Somebody to trust.
The Audi TT.
The house on the Vineyard.
The house on the gulf coast.
These are the things I miss the most.
Three thoughts come to mind:

1.) The name "Audi TT" just sounds funny in a pop song.

2.) How shallow is this guy for listing that among the things he misses the most?

3.) How shallow are we for sympathizing with the pining for the TT?

If Audi took its great sports car off the market, we would be sad.
