Automotive manufacturers have been digging into their parts bins for years to build new models. During the 1980s, GM pulled together components from the Chevy Chevette and other car lines to build its mid-engine Pontiac Fiero. The following decade Audi did the same thing, taking the platform used to power the Volkswagen Golf, Audi A3 and Skoda Octavia to underpin the Audi TT. Sometimes automakers need to save money in order to bring a winning product to the market, hence the sharing of key components with other models.
While the 2010 Audi TT is an attractive package, shoppers in the market for more punch are better served looking elsewhere. The 2010 Porsche Boxster and Cayman, for example, offer more horsepower and sportier handling dynamics. And though many car shoppers will write them off as being too expensive, their starting price is actually close to that of the 2010 Audi TTS.
