Cool ...

They have already showed 3dr A1, 5dr A1, now the cabrio ... so in the future two more models are coming, I guess : mini-SUV (Q1), and sub-TT coupe based on A1 platform.

Never follow?

^ More like always follow. They are trying to do what BMW does, but BMW does it with Mini.

Audi should never make statements like this regarding MINI , MINI is more than just a brand it's a culture. A1 will never reach the heights of MINI as it has. With the MINI Coupe and Speedster we have just upped the game.

Speaking of Audi and I apologise for going Off-Topic but why has anybody not posted the road tests that are fairly negative of the A5 Sportback , so far the only ones posted are US tests which makes you wonder if they have driven the car at all? The British and German media have been brutal saying it looks good , looks sporty but is anything but.

Although the negative tests of the BMW X6M are posted in abundance.

I don't think it was a comment from an Audi official but a remark by the author of the blog so there is no need to take this thread off-topic with Mini vs Audi debate.

Neither is this the thread for discussion concerning unfavorable X6 M / A5 Sportback tests.

Back to topic, please.

Human will become famous soon enough
I can say this to Audi...."Don't count your chickens before they have hatched!"

The Mini is a HUGE success globally and expanding, it's a cult car with a following and a heritage whilst also being an icon. Audi is frankly non of these!

BMW's best move - moving forward in this segment was obtaining the MINI brand!
