Audi has learned a lesson that BMW has not: When planning a long press conference hosted by German executives, give your audience a little something for the effort first. In this case, that something was a live tune from Bryan Adams.
After Bryan finished chilling us out, Rupert Stadler, chairman of the board for Audi AG, entertained us with a few fun facts about the new 2009 Audi TTS. With 272 horsepower, the turbocharged direct-injection 2.0-liter inline-4 engine propels the TTS from zero to 60 in 5.4 seconds with the manual transmission, and 5.2 seconds with the dual-clutch tranny. -- Kelly Toepke, News Editor

Wish I'd been there!
