Can't say I have seen one here, and with an predicted 1000 US sales (2012-2013) we probably won't see many more. Sorry for the shitty pic.

TT-RS:



And WTF is up with the "similar threads" at the bottom of the page?

I never noticed that but now I'm questioning the logic behind why they are considered similar.

Did they sell the TT-RS without the fixed spoiler?

If you saw quad exhausts, it's not a TT-RS. Beyond the fixed spoiler, it only has a dual-outlet exhaust system.

That appears to probably be a TT-S.

Saw a sweet looking 458 today. Was going to snap a pic and a guy that didn't look over 20 was driving. Figure didn't need to stroke his ego further.

Yes I did.

Awesome car. Don't know how I feel about the transmission. Its like driving a clutch with no clutch...When you press the gas from a stop, you can feel it engage the clutch. When you shift while driving you feel it engage and shift. Its an odd feeling, and quite different than your run-o-the-mill exotic. It shifts quick, but you it feels like a manual. Its almost a raw feeling, which I prefer but would take some getting used to. There is a drive mode, but A) who does that and B)it shifts automatically pretty rough. I'd compare it to a BMW M car with the ferocity cranked.

Pretty stiff ride, but It felt good to me...mine is so much stiffer than just about everything else, my judgement is skewed. Fit and finish is what you'd expect a $150k+ car...perfect in every way. The interior is very cozy. Im 6'2 275ish and it was perfect. Plenty of room, but not to much. Comparing it to mine once again, a little more leg room and head room but not much more.

The sounds it made were the best I've heard come out of a car. Ever.

Sounds like the transmission behavior is very similar to the SMG that was in my M5. All in all, I am very jealous that you got to play with an Aston...they're my fave.
