ICOTY Awards - Classic
Most
Likely to be Remembered - Audi TT
 Did
someone stomp on a Beetle? Well, that’s what it looks
like to some, but to others, it is probably the most memorable
design of the ‘90s. In an age where it’s hard
to tell one sedan from another, the TT is a refreshing mix
of contemporary styling and heritage design. Under the hood
is a respectable 180-horsepower 1.8-liter turbocharged DOHC
inline four cylinder that glides down the street. It can’t
be driven quickly, though, because you’ll run over
everyone surrounding the car. They just want to touch it,
to feel the curves and sense what it’s all about. You
will remember this car for the stiff ride and great balance,
and you’ll remember the car because you didn’t
have to mortgage the house to buy it. For $30,500, it’s
a great piece of automotive history. If you weren’t
one of the lucky ones to grab a coupe while they were still
available, get down to the dealership now and reserve a
roadster model. Don’t look back 20 years from
now with regret that you didn’t follow your heart.
