[s-cars] Aren't the new TT and the new A5 and S5 in directcompetition?

[Pasqualoni, James E]

Front wheel drive bias.  Golf chasis platform limitations.  Need I say
more?  The example of an A3 versus S6 was actually a literal comparison.
The new B and C chassis Audis will be built on the same modular chassis
the A5/S5 is being built on.  And the A3 is built on the same chasis as
the TT.  Not kidding Dave!

I was prompted to ask the question after watching a couple of very cool
TT ads and a Fifth Gear TT review on YouTube yesterday.  I took Audi's
hype to be Waaayyy more upmarket than you suggest, i.e. the TT vs an M3.

But I could be wrong.

Not at all.  TT = Small Haldex Golf platform.  A5/S5 = Large Torsen new
dynamic VAG platform.  Completely different target markets.  Kind of
like saying the A3 is in direct competition with the S6 Avant IMO.

Discuss.

List traffic seems to have dwindled to nothing.
