I have to concur. Great looking car with some distinctive styling features setting it apart from its NA cousins. That blue TT looks great. Plenty of power with better performance and a flatter torque curve than the previous generation. Interestingly the article seems to imply that the tip has better acceleration numbers than the manual transmission. Maybe there is something to Rohrl's preference for the TT tip. Certainly after this performance it's not likely he'll change his mind.

Also at a base price of only 122K where does this put the X51 equipped S? They're so close in price why not spring for the AWD and turbo?

Yesssssss!!!!!
A few months agp I priced out a C4S,x51,aero... msrp about 113K passed when they tried to f me around on the trade in, now I'm glad I waited, 122.9k is a steal.

Do the math: the X51 has 23 hp more than the S for 17 K more. The turbo has 125 more horses for about 25 K more than a well equipped S in the upper 90's.

Looks like those wheels will be the stock turbo wheels. The spokes carry the splitsville theme of the front vents, side vents, back vents. Seems a bit excessive and slavish to me to carry this theme all the way to even the spokes of the wheels.

I like the wheels eventhough they won't look the same when viewed from different sides of the car. Like the turbo twist wheels.

I like everything about the car, even in it's base form it has it all!

I gave a deposit when I bought the TT cab last year and am supposed to be #2 so hopefully i'll see the car by late summer

I agree Surgeon, that Turbo looks fantastic. Nice avatar looks like the Glen??

Coupe.....

I went from an 03 x50 TT coupe to an 04 TT cab and I was much happier driving a coupe

Those wheels are outstanding. I wonder if the ride will be more harsh than the 997S?

Let me know when you sell that TT cab, just my color combo...

still ugly.

I also like the wheels, but the exhaust exits are going to have to grow on me.
The US pricing is still surprisingly low and not reflecting current exchange rates. At today's 1 Euro=1.19 US$ the european base pricing of 134k EU should translate to approx US$160k before tax! Porsche obviously very concerned about US market share in light of their announced ambitious sales targets and is heavily subsidizing this market. Makes you wonder what the profit margin is on these??
I expect Can$ base pricing will likely be consistent with European at approx +/- Can$200k, which more or less reflects current exchange and duty into Canada.
