Yes, I've driven the 180 and was impressed, but at this time, no one
knows for sure what Audi is going to put under the hood, if it's more
than 4 cyl, more than one turbo, no turbo at all... Audi is the last to
say anything. The TTS is to have 300+ HP and that's not even a fact
from the mouths of Audi. It's still anyones guess, don;t believe
anything you read in the car mags.
