Default Sat in the new TT today........

did'nt have time for a spin, but I'll tell you... 41K, and at first glance (sit) worth every penny. the seats are awesome. not too firm, but super supportive, alcantara inserts. (BTW....the guy I talked to re replacing the bolster, will do alcantara inserts on my A3 for ~ 400 per seat!), just a beautiful cockpit! and w the backseats down...as much cargo space as my 3(or maybe more). serious contender. great lines.

Default I took a new 3.2 TT for a spin...

It was nice to take off without spinning the tires and nice to be able to power out of turns better, but there's no way I'd give up my 2.0T. I missed the punch of my chipped turbo car. What some call "linear power" just feels flat to me. I was also surprised at how you can feel the quattro kick in with a very noticeable drag. All-in-all, just felt like an A3 with a more sporty looking shell.

Default You know sometimes Audi really ticks me off. I dont think they listen to their customers.

Default strictly from the design/aesthetic point of view, i think it's not as unique, soulful and

groundbreaking as the MK1, the new one sort of blends in with the porsches and even a bit along the line of the Z & the G35...the interior is beautiful in the MK2 undoubtedly, but not as unified as that of the MK1 in terms of personality...

Default Sales 101 is not about pleasing the customers.

Default Not a sales role more marketing. Determining what products to deploy for certain markets...

through focus groups, current and new customer buying trends, costs, etc. In this day and age the role of the car sales person, especially at the higher end is more of an order taker. The buying public is most often more informed then the sales folks. They have done the research know what they want. IMO.

(My Audi saleman doesnt even own an Audi)

As far a pleasing the customer that is the job of the post sales crew through maintenance, warranty issues, etc.
