Beautiful People Ride in Beautiful Car: Molly Sims and James Denton Usher in 2008 Audi TT Roadster

"The new TT roadster is more grownup, is longer and wider, and has a higher luggage capacity," said Ralph Weyler, member of Audi AG's Board of Management and Sales. He adds that it's quicker, too, and weighs 200 lbs less than its predecessor, thanks to its aluminum/steel body construction.

While we have no doubt that the 2008 Audi TT Roadster will be a better drive than the original model, styling will remain its strongest asset. To underscore that point, the TT was unveiled with supermodel Molly Sims (of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition fame) at the wheel and James Denton (Desperate Housewives) riding shotgun...

"I like the color (red, by the way), it's fast, and I think I would look great with my hair blowing in the wind down PCH," said Sims.

Pressed for his opinion, Denton offered, "I was just happy with my driver."

Still looks good, though it doesn't have the impact that the original did.
 
Underneath this is a much better car now, no longer a designer Golf clone.

I read somewhere that Audi has targeted the Porsche Cayman in sheer performance. They are kidding right? This is a good looking car but I think its still more of a cruiser type vehicle.
