Hi all, I am wondering which car to get, the new 2008 Audit TT with V6 convertible or 2008 Porsche Boxster S. Both cost about same amount. I did test both and liked the interior and comfort better in the new Audi TT a lot better than the Porsche Boxster. However when I took the hairpin curves in San Diego, the Boxster handled better than the Audi. So its tough. Now here is another ...

Boxsters are totally mid-life crisis cars. Only chicks with bright red lipstick and poofy hair should still be impressed with low end porsches. Don't bother trying to fit in with the P-car club. If yours didn't cost more than theirs, they probably don't care. I can see a TT being bought as one too, but it's not it's prime market. And not that it should influence your car ...

quote: ORIGINAL: mixxalot . He keeps calling it a shoebox design. When did the TT become a xB? Honestly, wait and get the TT in a 2.0T in a manual. I think they may come in awd in 08 also. That would give you far better possiblities than a boxter and would be far better drive in all climates

with exception to Becca here on the forum, most chicks can't tell the difference between cars. The Porsche name sticks out enough for recognition. I've told people I drive an Audi TT, and some have never heard the name uttered before. Talk about living in a hole. Say Porsche, and their eyes light up. Get the TT, if they ask what it is, tell them its a Porsche, they wont know....

I already do it to people. I have told them all kinds of things, even made up names before. If someone asks me if its Twin Turbo'ed i just grin and go, "Yup"

Buy a fuggin' Cayman S if you want a Porsche that's more affordable than a 911. Porsche had to tune those sh*ts down so that they wouldn't keep up with 911's. Base model Boxster=no respect really. Not much you can do to un-slug it too. < Message edited by Murderface -- 8/5/2007 9:48:00 PM >

Thanks all, Actually I knew two guys who are engineers and they both drive Audis. Go figure. One is now filthy rich and owns an estate in Malibu. He could easily buy a Porsche 911 turbo and drives an Audi A8. I test drove the 2008 Audi TT (2.0T) with auto shifter. It was wicked fast for the low end TT. Heck, I even was able to get it up to 120 on the freeway without the sales person ...

Being in Malibu, I'm not surprised. 911's are ridiculously common in SoCal; I was there last week and saw so many that I didn't even flinch at the sight of one after a while. I have no doubt the 2.0T with the aut hauls ass, the B7 A4 with the same engine and FWD ripped off the line with no wheelspin and got up to...

The thing is this: I drove all the new Porsches: the Boxster, Cayman, 911 S. All sucked except for the new Porsche 911 Carrera S and GT3. But you are also talking about at least 80k for a new car which is twice what the loaded high end TT costs. I may wait until the new high performance version of the Audi TT comes out next year. Do you know if the USA will get the upcoming Audi TT-S and Audi TT-RS from Europe? That would be awesome to have a...
