Talking Sold on the TL---------->

Just drove the 6MT and was pleasently suprised. The car has some go. The salesman actually asked me to slow down. :toothless I was looking for something with some power as I am returning a modified Audi TT with 276HP and 300lbs of torque with suspension mods. My other choice was the S60R which I cannot justify the extra $55/month with less mileage allowance. I'll be a regular poster when I pick it up in about 3wks. I was looking to get a WDP but I did noticeably see paint discoloration on the bumper on a few on the lot so I am leaning towards silver or anthracite. Doug

There has been some complaint about the WPD (white) color matching, so make sure that if you do get it that the color is acceptable before taking delivery of the car. As for the silver or Anthacite, they both look damn good. Congrats.

No matter which color you get, check the bumper color before you sign. WDP seems to be the worst, but evidently a few people with other colors have had mismatches, too.

I bought a WDP and the color match looks perfect. Maybe they corrected that particular issue. BTW, which interior do you want?

I saw a new RRP on the way to work today, it was a nice surprise to see it, mine has the plate removed and the color matched plugs installed so in my view looks much better head on. Either way, RRP is an excellent color!

Havn't actually did the deed yet------------------->

TT doesn't go back until 6/1 but will take the TL last week in May. First choice was WDp with parchment.
I like the Abyss blue with Camel but I'm trying to get away from darker "dusty" colors. It will look like a tennis ball when the pollen hits.
I drove a silver with ebony today and ofcourse like the anthracite. How do the abyss blue folks like it? Doug
