Audi confirmed this week that it will sell the new TT coupe as a 2008 model in the United States. Production of the car began on Tuesday, with European availability slated for September of this year. We suspect U.S. availability will begin in early 2007 — as previously reported — and the decision to sell it as a 2008 model is strictly a marketing move.

The American people’s general sentiment towards Nazism was essentially neutral but also had a fair number of supporters until the bombing of Pearl Harbor when people began to see the Axis Powers as a threat and an enemy. It was also then that the US propaganda machine really got busy. Roosevelt wanted the war from the start, but it just wasn’t a popular idea. In fact, many historians speculate that we might have turned a blind eye to the approaching Japanese forces in the hope of a minor attack because and attack on U.S. soil would require a military response. Anyhow, I felt like sharing, and don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not some sort of loony Nazi sympathizer. I just like history and cars.
Oh and they should just make it an ‘07
I was at the 24 Heuers du Mans this past weekend and saw the new Audi Pokémon car (aka TT) in person. It was the pace car. In the flesh, this Gen2 version is just a tad less effeminate looking than the Gen1 version, but not so much that hair dressers won’t still like it.
