They look like the carbon wheels offered on the M4 GTS....

The front looks rather aggressive but the side and rear profile is just Meh.
Weird combo of hard & soft lines on the car.

Pretty sure the U.S. is only getting the coupe April 2017. No mention of the convertible on the launch calendar I saw.

Liked the look of last gen TTRS better. Also second the bullshit flappy paddle only car statement. Good old fashioned manual option or I won't even give your car a second look.

I always thought the TT RS was priced pretty well for it's performance. I'm guessing it'll be close to $60k. An M2 is obviously close to it, but I'm sure the Cayman S will run much higher.

I always saw the 2nd gen TT as a poor man's R8. It's got all the same styling cues, just not the same motor.

It also got half the motor of the R8, so a perfect poor-man R8 . That 5-cyl & the V10 are alone worth the price for both cars IMO.

I've driven both and there's def some connection there. I'd say more kid brother than poor man's version but it's semantics at that point.
