New Audi TT... G6 wannabe?

Doesn't it look a bit similar?



This is just the first few paragraphs, you can read the full article here.

The German automaker takes the wraps off the second-generation TT coupe.

The Audi TT has only been on the market since the fall of 1998, but with its distinctive style and a sporty, fun-to-drive character, the coupe has been described as both an icon and a cult car.

Redesigning a car that has such distinctive style can be a risky undertaking, but the second-generation TT builds on many attributes of the original and moves the brand forward with new styling elements.

Elements such as the shape of the greenhouse, the rounded shape on the rear of the car and the round air outlets have been retained, although the two center vents in the center of the dash on the original TT are now replaced with three.

The wide, low, aggressive stance of the Audi Shooting Brake Concept from the Tokyo Motor Show has been carried over to the new TT, and the sharp, prominent front-end styling of the Concept is also used to add dramatic flare. The new TT coupe is as distinctive as the original, but in an updated manner consistent with other more recent Audi designs—yet the TT is easily identifiable.

the old Audi TT was just a stretched out Beetle, at least the new TT has some character. i don't think it looks representative of the G6 at all.

[G6Performance]

You don't think so? Here's a pic of a coupe at the same angle (thanks Mike :P )

if anything the G6 Coupe looks representative of the orginal TT, not the other way around.

[G6Performance]

No no no, I thought it looked like the G6 coupe too at first, when I saw a spy shot of it in a magazine, it was mostly covered up. But after seeing it in person at the auto show, I can say it looks nothing like the G6. It's too short in length, and there's more of a 'bubble' look in the roof...it's too round as it goes into the trunk. The G6 kinda stretches the roofline and rear window into the trunk.

Well the rear roofline looks very similiar.

tt's came out first... but hey, g6's are starting to look similar to alot of cars.

[Interfire]

Now days your always going to see hints of different cars on the same one.

[bristol16]

there are just too many makes and models, both old and new, to not make comparisons.

[GTPGuy82]

true, but some cars are pretty unique.
