Re: A rival to the Audi TT?

The shape is very TTish. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not. I don't like seeing inspired copies - I'd rather see innovation.

It looks like a TT that's been down the gym for a few sessions and then had Hollywood teeth fitted at the High St orthodontist!

Re: A rival to the Audi TT?

1.6 engine producing 218 BHP

It looks like it will weigh nothing so could see a 1.8/2.0 THP lump in their geting 350 BHP probably go like a rocket....

Could see it clawing some of the TT market

Re: A rival to the Audi TT?

My 206 had some acceleration...and kept going - that was just 155 bhp. And it really hung on to the road.

Dont know about taking sales from the TT - but if its a choice of a used TT or a new one of these then I'd take the pug - it looks ok

Oh dear, gaping maw front,
too many button's on the centre
console: It has to be a Pug.

Bet it'll launch with a diesel alongside
that 1.6 petrol.

Our little Lion roared off to the weighbridge last week just. Green to the end, she was. Sacrificed her very being to the crusher God, in a final display of Leo Like courage.

Re: A rival to the Audi TT?

It looks like a copy, and then you have to ask yourself "do I feel lucky, my 1.6 engine produces over 200 BHP, how long will it last?"

Re: A rival to the Audi TT?

Not keen.

Ugly, ugly front grille. Too busy dash.

TT roof line.

Old Karmann Ghia rear haunches/ rear three-quarters?

Audi will not lose sleep over it methinks.
