The "confirmation" was heard during the presentation of the Audi TT Roadster in Nice, and of course it comes with a softtop.

Should its rear looks like the coupe or sportback? I buy sportback more~

I'm extremely interested in what Audi will fight back with. There will also be space available in Audi model line up with the A4 cabrio being replaced by the bigger and more expensive A5 cabrio. With the new A4 becoming bigger also it seems like a perfect opportunity to capitalise on this market segment.

Engine variants seem to be more important these days also in particular diesel is really growing in European markets as well as US. New BMW 2.0L diesel with 205hp and 400Nm(?) of torque is astounding. I hope Audi engineers have something interesting in the diesel pipe line

What do you think Yannis?
Absly agree. BMW is awesome in building diesels. Audi should do something about it. Though the 2.0 TDI can have quite a good 170ps, really a little behind.

For convertibles, I think A3 Cab is not going to compete with A4/5 Cab. On the other hand, A4 Cab should be discontinued once A5 Cab is in production. They really contradict each other.

And, no doubt both A3/4 will be enlarged.
