Audi TT 2009
If Apple built cars, they probably would look and feel a Audi TT lot like the new Audi TT. Like the iPod, the new TT is a tailor-made tool for the digital age. It’s oh-so-cool in appearance and character, it prioritizes efficiency over emotion, and it underpromises and overdelivers in a matter-of-fact style. The second-generation model combines a cool exterior and a classy cabin with a solid and competent chassis and drivetrain. In terms of sex appeal, the new TT outscores BMW’s Z4 coupe and matches the Porsche Cayman. In terms of passenger and luggage space, it easily eclipses its iconic Audi TT predecessor. And in terms of handling and performance, it’s the only Audi TT contestant in this class to offer four-wheel drive and a clever, dual-clutch transmission. This all sounds good, but there’s more to the story. The genetic code of the latest TT is rather coarsely woven; the TT is a Volkswagen Rabbit–or an Audi A3, if you will–dressed up for the catwalk. So we must hold the headlines until after our twenty-four-hour Audi TT test drive through the rainswept German and Austrian countryside.
When it was introduced in 1998, the original TT worked wonders as an image transformer for Audi. The sport coupe gained instant cult status and, together with its roadster sibling, found more than 270,000 takers worldwide.

2009 Audi Q5 Revealed
The Q5 will hit the U.S. early next year and the company claims it will be priced around the competition listed above. The specs show that the Q5 will almost be identical in length to the EX35 – but it’ll be taller – and about the same overall height of a BMW X3, but longer. To us, that means it will actually have a useful cargo area unlike the Infiniti. In the looks department, the Q5 is far from cutting edge, although the LED taillights are quite something.
