That picture and a picture of an Aztek should be made into a single (glorious full color, no expense spared) poster, then distributed to every Pontiac designer/product planner/engineer/manager with instructions that they MUST display it proudly.

I think it would be a great motivational tool.

Nice military analogy on the podcast by RF.

Here is a case of getting it right:

Just as clarification

I believe this time ,Audi TT is employing its aluminum frame tech, in the front end of the car.

so its not a GTI in drag ,as posters keep tossing out.

That’s funny, Samir. Unfortunately for me, there’s a family in my neighborhood who is still driving one of these around — it’s white too.

RF seriously can you put a warning in the title if you’re going to visually assault us like that?

Actually, I think I know why!

The VW Golf GTI is really the Audi TT with a coupe body and the VW Golf R32 is the Audi TT Quattro with a coupe body. If you don’t believe me, check out how much BHP each car churns out and even their emissions and you’ll notice a trend….

It’s only the “Audi” brand which retains the car value. Even so, that’s still a better reason to go with the Audi TT Quattro than the R32.

KatiePuckrik :

With regards to the R32. Why didn’t they look at an Audi TT quattro?

Why indeed.

Actually, in “Football” (Not “soccer”) we have a Yellow card (warning) and a Red card (sent off).

With regards to the R32. Why didn’t they look at an Audi TT quattro? Audis, generally, hold their value better than a VW.
