IMO If they did put the TTV6 in this, they would also need a MINIMUM of 5 year 60k warranty to give people peace of mind. I could imagine if they went with the standard year 36,000 mile warranty, your typical Joe-Schmo would either trade the car in with 35,999 miles, or not buy the car at all. Once the warranty was coming close to become expired, Joe would envision BIG dollar repair bills in his future since he'll probably have the opinion the TT was mostly "experimental" technology. I imagine if you showed Joe the same car with a V8 or the TTV6 he would choose the V8 due to he knows what is happening under the hood with some confidence. Since Ford does not use this TT setup on a regular basis people will be 1st interested into the products uniqueness then they will move onto something else with the fear of "If I buy that car, that engine will BLOW!"
I don't know, perhaps this is my Mr. Cheapskate bleeding through my fingers? :shrug:
