OT: Other cars...anyone driven these?




<honorable mention: audi tt.  too slow, too girly. but almost a vw.>

IMHO the Audi TT deserves a whole lot more than just honorable mention.  Too slow?  Indeed, the 180 is underpowered.  But the 225 (1.8T) or the 250 (3.2) are sufficiently powered and very spirited from a driveability perspective.  The overall design of the TT was cutting edge, critically acclaimedm and is destined to become a classic.  The coupe is absolutely gorgeous.  If that constitutes "girly", so be it.

Finally, the TT, from a historical design perspective, is very similar to the Mk1 Scirocco in terms of its emergence onto the automotive scene.
