It would be more beneficial for the Sports companies (to the style and flow side), but what the heck, that's what's readable here in LLN.

Not all cars are about the performance, but convenience amenities and style also play a part. the eos shouldnt be getting compared to a miata for one, its more in the lines of the g6 convertible and the volvo hardtop convertible (while are similarly priced with the eos) and when you compare it to those, it does hold its ground.

I don't really understand it either. It doesn't look bad, but doesn't look good. It doesn't drive bad, but it doesn't drive good. It's not underpowered, but neither is it powerful. It's not a lot, but the price says differently! Nearly 30 grand for a vehicle that gets similar performance to a Miata that costs 10 grand less. And you could even save a grand and buy an RX-8, 350Z or save four grand and go for an Eclipse.. Even a fully loaded Toyota Solara. Personally I liked the VW Golf Cabrio a lot better. I know, you might as well drive a banner around telling the world you've "come out of the closet" <i>with</i> your VW, but it did what people wanted. Cheap, affordable and fun. You could get 30 miles per gallon, have four seats and a convertible at the same time. A guy nearby owns an Eos. I don’t really understand it either. It doesn’t look bad, but doesn’t look good.

Too small, way overpriced, lackluster performance. What's the fucking appeal? Same goes for the Eos. Yet they're all over the place. Fucking public, and then they wonder why we suffer as a species.

Porsche AG is such an evil arrogant company, there's no way it would allow Audi to make this car. Not only does Porsche AG refuse to make the Cayman a better car, it refuses to let Audi make a better Cayman. Don't let Porsche AG get away with this: 1. boycott all Porsche purchases 2. lobby the EU to force Porsche AG to divest its Audi shares It’ll never happen.

The current TT and Golf are built on the Volkswagen PQ35 platform...do the research yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_A_platform The fact of the matter is of all the PQ35 cars, an R32 is a much better value than TT. But fools pay for badges, and dearly. Also, they (TT Owners) often beligerently refuse to admit that reality.

I mean right now they are practically the same thing. Or would this make the TT part of that VW/Audi/Porsche rear-engine car trio that I read about on here a few days ago?
