I don't see myself ever buying something over that price in my life ever. So yeah.
I think he was pointing out that all of them are VW group cars, since Porsche was taken over.Or am I mistaken?
So which of these offerings would you choose?
2.0 Cayman 300bhp
Clubsport S 310bhp
Audi TT-S 310bhp
It would make a very interesting group test.

Honda will have this record back very soon. VW took the back seats out and other weight saving.
Have they lost the record though as their car wasn't an as you buy it in the showroom model either.ZX10R NIN said:
No you're correct all are VAG cars & occupy the same sort of market two seats over 300bhp & all are around £40,000.
So which of these offerings would you choose?
2.0 Cayman 300bhp
Clubsport S 310bhp
Audi TT RS 400bhp
Personally I think I'd take the TT for the engine.
It would make a very interesting group test.
The new TT RS is going to be £50k without any options, fair bit more than the latest Cayman @ ~£40k without options, which is going to be at least £5k more than a fully loaded Golf, likely closer to £10k assuming you are comparing standard vs. standard. So which of these offerings would you choose?

My mistake I mis read an article on the TT RS I've rectified it.
So which would you choose?
I've had a TT (mk.ii) from new for just under 80k miles. Least reliable car I've ever had, and although OK for a FWD car was a but numb unless the tyres were practically spanking new. It was always nice to use on motorways and the like, but I won't have another, so no TT-S for me, 4wd or not.So which would you choose?
I've no use for an impractical hatchback like the Clubsport S. If I wanted a track weapon I'd have a caterham (and enough dough left over to fund a runabout)
I'd have the 718 Cayman. I've not driven the turbo four, but the old 3.2 was a nice car, IMS failures or no.
I'm judging them for the use I'd have for them. YMMV etc.

The Volkswagen comminuty is pretty unique.
Volkswagen will sell every one of the Clubsport S GTis.
I agree with only 400 Clubsport S worldwide and 100-150 UK cars these will not only all sell out but be selling for £20k over list used. GTI owners are a pretty passionate bunch. When i was younger and had a GTI hardly used the back seats.Volkswagen will sell every one of the Clubsport S GTis.

Not so sure about the uniqueness as most of the major brands have enough people who will spring for the latest and greatest limited run performance car, witness the Porsche GT car market or the sold out M4 GTS or the Ford Focus RS500 etc.... Volkswagen will sell every one of the Clubsport S GTis.
This will sell out of course, but that's nothing new or different.
