Audi TT: The rebooTT

Our friends over at AudiWorld have a great article about the evolution of a design icon, the Audi TT. A must read for all Audi lovers! Enjoy.

One of the most highly anticipated cars of recent memory has finally landed on American soil, and I had the opportunity to drive it's current top-range version of the all-new 2008 Audi TT. The experience left me surprised and enlightened, as the redesign was not at all what I had expected.

I came with some fairly loaded expectations. How would this new interpretation compare to the original Bauhaus objet-d'art that caused such a stir late last century? Would it recapture the original's retro-chic appeal? Will it actually look better, or worse? How will its drive compare?

What I quickly discovered is that this new iteration is not an evolution of the original as much as it is a complete reboot. And this is a very good thing.
