Im not really a fan of the new TT (yet) but then again I've never truly liked any lambo. Although the G is the best lookin car in the lambo stable. Tough beans friend. I'd prolly go for the G, since it's available now, and then switch out to a TT later.....at least two years into the TT production.

Lighten up on the turbo options, big boy!! 
Really tough question, but I think it comes down to what do you want? On the one hand, a really nice daily driver that will appear to be similar to every other P-car on the road or something that will call attention to you everywhere you go.
How comfortable are you going to be parking that G-car at the mall?

the G's that I've looked at have been between 201-215........... you must have spec'd every option (and some twice) to get anywhere near that price.
the one issue that has kept me from the G is that I'm not sure how long until the novelty would wear off. I'm not into the additional attention and hassle that the G will bring. The leasing company that I work with told me that 6 out of the 10 they leased were sold within 6 months --- at a big loss.
If those issues wouldn't bother you, then I would go for the G.... you can always get into a second or third year 997TT

I got ...
OVER $10K in carbon fiber
Porsche Ceramics
Limited Locking Differential
Nav, Phone, Handset, Painted Rear, Painted Rockers, and more ...
When I spec'd out a 997S with my options it came to $185,000 (US CONFIG) so I'm assuming the TT along with tax & title will be over $200K???? Then again maybe some of the things I picked on the C4S come standard on the TT??

lets say...
painted rockers(XAJ) - $2k
painted seats - $2k
PCCB -$9k
full carbon- $12k
LSD- $3k
sports chrono- $1500
phone/hand set -$2k
nav- standard
total options and tax= $32k
MSRP- $123,000
$123,000 + $32k (options) = $155,000 x 5% Tax (average) = $162,000 Give or take....
I guess you could get a Low Mileage 05 Gallardo....
