They want the side profile of their 350Z back.

Audi called, they want their side profile back that the 350Z stole from the original TT

Nissan didn't steal it! Audi stole it from the new VW Beetle and squished it to make it look different. 😛

Yeah, just like the original Z ripped the Jag E-type 😀
 
The rear flanks look awfully Celica-ish to my eyes.

I consider this a step in the wrong direction. I really like the Bauhaus-inspired looks of the original TT, and this seems more like a homogenized mishmash of other people's cars.

IMO Audi will probably never make what I consider a true sports car (save perhaps their planned supercar, and we'll see about even that), because they have such a strong tendency toward incorporating understeer and gravitating toward safety at all costs. As such, the TT is more of a GT/personal luxury car than anything else, and will probably always be less fun to drive than a 3/4-series BMW. This makes style critical, and to me this car is stylistically-challenged compared to its predecessor.

oh dear lord... I love the current TT, but that thing's just hideous. What happened to the smooth, sleek lines? They've turned it into a grill-crazy bumpy monster!

If they made it longer it would look nice. It'd look like an Aston Martin.

S4?

Nope - to me the S4, and even the vaunted RS6, are sporty cars, but their propensity for understeer means they will never be as much fun as a well-sorted RWD car like a comparable BMW. That said, I won't be sad if I find one in my driveway with a big red bow around it!
