Is it a new pic or the same ones that we've been seeing?

Tips are faster than people think. Driving a six speed makes it easier to stay in the preferred gear and enjoy full acceleration with any throttle input. I will say however that when I am fooling around with people that if its around 40mph or second gear for me they are left wondering why are they getting smoked. Second and third gear pull VERY hard and will take you to 125 plus before fourth gear. This makes for some civil but obvious illustration of that turbos ain't slow and if you mod them you get a lot of bang for the buck. Six speeds are fun and functional but the tiptronic S is no oridinary slushbox. Quite cable in auto or manual. Don't regret my choice. I did get to drive Rolo's 3 today and it was a very nice experience. Absolutely splendid suspension setup and steering feel.
