Me thinks I would choose many other cars than this thing for $65Gs...like a used 911 Carrera 4!

Sure makes the Golf R look down right cheap!

Is the 5 cylinder coming to Canada? 2.5 litres, 335bhp and 332lbf of torque. Also 30mpg. "Only" about $16000 more than the 4 cylinder in Europe...

There is a bit of a style premium but if you compare to say a 1 M, or 335 Coupe or something its not totally out to lunch IMO.

I love the exhaust note on this car.

Sweet looking car!  The price tag and the lack of manual transmission would keep me away though.

Yep. S5 would be more interesting to me, especially with the exhaust note from that lovely 4.2.

Rumors say the V8 will be replaced with the SCed 3.0L V6 (already in the S5 Cab) when the S5 Coupe is facelift in 1-2 years.
Hopefully the RS5 will be here by that time to fill the V8 void.

My only question regarding the TT is, where did the regular 200HP-210HP entry version go?
It is still available in the USA but has been dropped in CAD.

Isn't Canada the more price sensitive market? I would image the regular TT would be the main seller instead of the TT-S.
