I was doing some car shopping research and........ i gotta say wow... this machine is impressive.
A 2.0 litre supercharged with 265 HP // 258 lb-ft torque running for a 0-100km in 4.9 seconds. Those are some impressive numbers.
Audi is offering it with heated seats, power seats, electronic folding mirrors, s-tronic, paddle shifters, sport seats all standard too.
Interior S-styling plus the quads really makes me go
THE MSRP is real attractive too, $57600 CND.I think BMW really needs to step-up! Even though i like them alot , their competitions are responding furiously!
This may be on my list for may =D

Yeah, they're definitely stepping up from a 2nd line German luxury brand.
Im not surprised to see audi having a 1st line brand image in 5-10 years, their new vehicle lineup is simply stunning.
The only concern there would be is their reliability... heard its not that great.

Got to say, Audi is really putting out some quality product these days. For me, their designs are class leading and their overall packaging is excellent. This TTS is a good example.

looking to hear from you alex 
!
!Mhhh... The car is not bad. But it derives from Golf/A3, so EUR 55k is crazy: with the same money I'm sure you can get a Z4 3.0TT DKG.
Today it was raining hard and at the traffic light it starts very very well, as it was on dry.
The S-tronic transmission is very quick in changing gear.
The car is confortable and you can run without any noise. But here is the problem imho: you feel safe and you go fast, but... It is raining hard and it is dangerous despite you can't feel speed.
BMW and Mini steerings are stiff, this... is .. The opposite, you can turn it with a finger. But I don't like it.
At the end it is not so bad.. But not to pay EUR 55k. Nor 50. It is only a 4 cyl.
