Nope it's girly. Just heard my girlfriend call it cute. Men do not drive 'cute' cars.

You clearly know very little about Haldex AWD systems, which is used in the TT. Unlike the Torsen system in the rest of the Audi range which either runs 50/50 or 40/60 with a possible shift front or rear of 25% the Haldex TT normal runs at 95% to the front and 5% to the rear, though in extreme conditions it is capable of shift the power to 50/50.

P.S.
The R8 doesn't use eithe Torsen or Haldex, it uses the Lamborghini system which runs between 5~30% to the front with the rest going to the rear. That's why it's a rear biased awd system, the opposite to the TT's setup.

I know all about Haldex vs Torsen but I didn't know that the TT uses Haldex. I thought the Haldex was only used in VWs.

The TT and A3 are basically a VW Golf chassis. Well maybe the TT is a bit more different because it's steel/alloy and has a different wheelbase but they all use to same Haldex system which is fwd bias.

Cute men do, the kind that always get the girl.

P.S.
One thing I have noticed since changing to the M3 from the S5 is that the car doesn't get anywhere near the amount of looks. This might be a plus if the police also don't notice it as much, but I somehow doubt that.

Footie, remind me, what colour was your S5? I agree to some extent. I think the M3 and S5 grab my attention equally on the road, but I would say the S5 has more class in its looks whereas the M3 has more aggression. They aint rivals but just making a point since you changed from the S5 recently.

Personally I think the RS5 is going to look a lot better than the M3. Apart from the front end I dont really think the M3's design is all that.

Black.

Maybe it's the more recent design of the A5, fewer on the road but there is no doubt it got a lot more attention than my M3 is currently getting.
