TT for sure, although the ECU is the hardest to crack I think there will be some tunning modes I hope. The hybrid is nice and all but to artificial for me.

I disagree. I've seen it in person and the photos make it look much better. The car seems disproportionate to me. Obviously we will all have different opinions, though. The car isn't ugly, but I just don't think it has the presence that other flagship sedans have.

The only negative I seen with it is the corner of the rear slope slash tail light design. Other then that the thing is a beauty! It seems its bigger and with lower roof.

The more I see it, the less I like it. Looks like a stretched Nissan Maxima.

I have had turbo cars since late 90s. That said, the LSTT turbo won’t be like my 90s turbos

i just can’t decide in color yet
