2009 Audi TT Coupe 2.0 Quattro
2009 Audi TT Coupe 2.0 Quattro - Audi Luxury Sport Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
It doesn't have the sharp-edged handling of a sports car, but the TT is reasonably fast, reasonably nimble, and reasonably fun to drive.

Perhaps the TTS coupe and roadster that graced our fleet before this regular TT coupe have altered my expectations of the TT and its DSG transmission, but I was disappointed in this car. I found the power to be a bit lower than I remembered, and the DSG seemed to be sluggish on downshifts as well as unrefined when leaving a stop. Is the TTS that much better than the TT, or is this not a typical example of the base TT?

Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany - High Resolution Wallpaper-Quality Photo Gallery - Automobile Magazine
Stuttgart's newest gem isn't a car-it's an ultramodern museum.

Rising from the hallowed ground of the company's Stuttgart headquarters, the new $130 million Porsche Museum deploys an imposing 60,000 square feet of stark white display space, enough to exhibit about eighty cars. The structure, expected to attract more than 200,000 visitors annually, employs more oddly angled struts than a Le Mans racer.
