    Is anyone else bored with lazy journalists exploiting the summer silly season to reissue stories that are fifteen months old ?

    Luca effectively announced all this at the April 21 2010 briefing

    That was really the most surprising part of the article. I wonder if they are correct?

    Is anyone else curious as to why we haven't seen any spy photos of the 458 Spider yet? I mean, being so close to the unveiling...why haven't we seen any?

    I just knew there were 2 engines to choose the TT V-8 and NA V-12 awhile back, I was figuring they would take the TT because it works well with technology in terms of fuel reduction. I'm more excited about the next 599 this project has been kept well under wraps!

    I still think it is going to have a V8 TT. I think the reporter has to be wrong. I also think the v8 TT could be combined with a hybrid drivetrain.

    I can't confirm that :)D), but my sources say the driving experience is like a "458 on steroids"

    I did not know the 430 spider was still in production? I figured it was discontinued when the 458 showed up.

    It's no longer produced; you are correct in that it went away with the arrival of the 458.
