I don’t understand why Audi so desperately wants to compete with BMW on each and every level.

I know Audi as the manufacturer of the most classy, robust and performant middle class and luxury cars, which, agreed, is partly the scope of BMW as well. But that should not necessarily imply that Audi has follow BMW to the gates of hell if they would?????

Also, BMW got the Mini through acquisition, and it is a different BRAND, with a different image and target crowd (students, young girls,…). This is not the case for Audi, where the veritable reputation and placement of the brand is put at stake. I think this is poor marketing, and although I am an Audi driver and loving it, I think the Mini’s are way cooler than this little booger…

GOLDLADER…. much enjoyed your comments. I, myself, am a professional graphic designer. So… I, also, know what looks good, and technically, WHY.

It is so so good to see comments by someone who actually knows what they are talking about.

Very nice observations.

AND I really like this new design approach, of the A1…. in all the prospects I have seen.

And the Speedster (Spyder?) I also really like. That would be awesome in a soft hybrid form.

Schöne Cabrios, vor allem fehlt noch die richtige Cabriojacke in den farben des Carios – aber da hab ich was gefunden – egal in welcher Farbe man das Cabrio hat, man (auch Frau) findet hier sicherlich die passende Cabrio Jacke…

As a designer I really liked the images of the A1 Cabriolet – it reminds me of the Karmann-Ghia Cabriolet in the same way that the original TT reminded me of the 356 Porsche. Audi designers really know how to draw a direct line to connect automotive heritage through past and future. I know the design will change before it hits the showroom but they have created the next generation of design for the bottom feeders to copy.

Dont mind the Q1 or the A1.

But the A1 (i think) the side of the car looks so similar to the Fiat 500.

Yep agree – ugly and all out of proportion with the exeception of the Q1.

The Coupe Looks like German version of a Hyundai Accent Whilst the cabrio looks like a German version of the Lexii SC430 [and equally as ugly too]

This is one ugly little pumpkin, just as I was getting all excited yesterday about the same company’s Q5. Makes even the noddy-like BMW 1 series coupe look slightly graceful.
Maybe these Germans should just stop trying to cover all the segments which don’t really exist, because with this size of car the Asians do it so much better and so much more afforably.
