Still longevity is a question mark.

Now if it is light then awesome, if heavy (like 3900+) then it would defeat the purpose of a tt instead of a V8.
Hopefully they are able to keep the weight reasonable on the coupe.

We all know who to blame for starting this trend... BMW.

I don't know if this has been posted but the 2.0T gets a solid 19/30 from Fifth Gear.

Or perhaps this Q50 version simply isn't that good, no?

Could be but it seems like they went into the review with a bias and negative mentality from the start(seems like they were ready to clown the car imo). Less than 2 minutes in before we hear a BMW comparison but i guess that's to be expected. I wonder why they tested the 2.0T and not the 3.0T? I don't like Sedans so hopefully the Coupe is better.

That Fifth Gear Review is old. That was when the Q50 came out in UK, almost 3 years ago.

More importantly, can you turn it off (without turning your entire audio system off)?

Ehhh...no. They're clearly reviewing the brand new 2.0 turbo model, and the video was just published a couple weeks ago.

The whole review is a joke. I can't take those idiots seriously. Did anyone notice the Ford interior at the 0:21 mark? Who's in charge of the editing? A monkey?

I agree that no credence should be given to that review. Came across as an SNL skit. A bad one, at that!

I think it stays on and melds into the background of whatever music you're playing. Sorta like the lead singer in a rock band who shakes Maracas or a tambourine as fill to the bass, guitar and drums!!!

Eh, no its not. I will say I was wrong on it being 3 years ago but it aired last July and was probably filmed a year ago. Well before the 3.0 was announced.

^ Didn't Europe get the 2.0L for MY 2015? I thought I remembered that being added last year, but not making it to the US until the '16 model.
