Look at the size of those tires!  Wow...

TT performance and fun in a practical (somewhat) hatch?  Who said the three door was only for the econobox market?

I'm lovin it...

Yeah, looks DARN FACKIN' HOT!

It has a more serious looking attitue than the M/Z-Coupe/hatch. Looks more like a race prepped-Renault or something.

I love it.

Well, it's the concept from the Tokyo show. Supposedly hinting at the next TT.

Call me skeptical, but there are some lines that look very out of place and jagged on the pictures.  It looks great!  But I'll reserve full judgement till I see real press photos from the show.

That car looks phenominal! However, I think the windows should start at where the belt line is currently located. I really hate the current trend of having extra small windows coupled with tall shoulders.

I wonder if that is a safety feature to combat large SUV's.

While I think the concept drawings look cool....am I the only one disappointed in the fact that the TT would shift from being some sleek 2dr coupe/droptop in the Audi lineup to a 3dr hatchback ala a flattened A3?

The current TT sort of pioneered the slit-of-a-window theme. Feels like you're in the bathtub, and the TT Coupe is quite dark inside.

I'm sick of the same 'ole coupes. They're too common. Bring this more versatile thing on, as it looks sportier to me. A backpack laced with adrenaline!

I agree with mdx. I love coupes and the TT was very sleek. Easy to make into a convertable too. While hatches are very hot in the Canadian segment, Audi is already playing that game with the A3. If someone wants performance along with their hatch, then Audi should introduce an S3 or an RS3. Leave the TT as a coupe/roadster.

The Audi TT is one car I have never warmed up to at all. Never liked it in either coupe or open top form. Don't know why - just doesn't do it for me.

But, I guess I'm not much of an Audi fan at all as I would far rather have a BMW, MB, Volvo or one of the Lexus/Infinity/Acura trio. I know there are lots of Audi fans here, and no offense intended. Just my dislike.

While I am an Audi fan, I too have never really liked the TT as much as the rest of the lineup, especially the convertible.  Something wrong with the lines.  The coupe was not bad, but not a heart stopper.  I never felt they were good value compared to the competition on a price/performance/looks basis.

I do like the new hatch style.

Okay, how about if there were a coupe, convertible, AND the hatch.

There. Problem solved. Wankers :P
