I think this is one of those segments that would have been well recieved by us car fans and purchased by absolutely nobody. It woud be cool - but just like an 7er touring, or an R-Klasse cabrio, it's not a configuration that makes a terribly good business case for itself.

On top of all that, a quasi-kombi platform would run the risk of taking the sex out of the TT's image. So you might sell 500 per annum and in the process cast a shadow on the entire line. Usually I bemoan Audi's product development, but this one I have to give a thumbs up.
