Default TT-RS and RS5's chance of coming to North America/Canada ?



Looks like we will never see the TT-RS. And in 2 or 3 years, IMO, the RS5 will be obsolete by then. Perhaps Audi AG will see the US market potential differently, especially if the US Dollar start to ascend against the Euro.

They would simply postion it as a final sendoff to the current style, kind of like they did for the RS4's and RS6's. It would be nice to have it sooner, but car companies are notorious for not paying attention to their customer's wishes.

Did they do a quick 180 in just 2 months since I heard that the TTRS is coming in Summer 2011?!

I read this as well. Perhaps only to the US then? I hope all of NA gets these cars.

I meant I heard that TTRS is coming to Canada in Summer 2011, not sure about the US.

O, I read somewhere that both the TT-RS and RS5 are coming to all of NA, but this news story was about a month ago I think.

In the most recent Car & Driver (or was it Motor Trend?), there is a short story about the TT-RS. If I remember the article correctly, Audi held a driving event for all the magazines and they all got to drive the TT-RS...and all of them were BEGGING Audi to bring it to the US. So, we'll see what happens
