Is that so Eni? Using what AWD centre differential technology? Haldex? Is the enough space under the back seat to place a propshaft and rear differential? Hmph - if this is legit then we're about to witness a masterpiece in the exercise of mechanical packaging.

Re: New Audi A1. The Mini Killer?

To be perfectly honest Poverty - I don't know.

The only 4wd mini Jap cars that spring to mind are the Daihatsu Terious (a decidely SUV-ish take on the super mini them - and that's got a 1.3 litre engine) and the Subaru Justy AWD (1.5 litre engine).

I will see if I can find out. I think there are 4wd ones or they might just be FWD. I will check gran turismo lol

Neither of them.
