Re: Audi A1. Audi will make a Mini rival.

Nice and all, but the impact the new Mini had and has will never be matched again in the car industry.

VW can only dream about what would have happened if the new VW Beetle was this huge a succes
A1, A2, A3.... Lot's of cheap Audis. Why??? Don't they have VW for that?

Re: Audi A1. Audi will make a Mini rival.

Newpapers must find big titles in order to sell issues. AutoBild says that there won't be a next generation Audi A2 but it will be named A1 and will be the size of VW Polo. Price wise it will cost around the same as a Mini and that justifies the headline.
If you ask me i would take a A class or even a VW Golf instead of a Mini anytime.

A class over Mini? Hell no! Mini is better than A in every possible way, imo of course. Pitty it's so expensive...

Re: Audi A1. Audi will make a Mini rival.

Everybody now, say "awwwww." Okay, so the sources are a little sketchy and the photo makes it look like somebody made the car out of marshmallows (somebody should check this for photoshopping), but German Car Blog says Audi is going to pit this little jellybean against BMW's MINI Cooper by 2010. The A1, allegedly a successor to the A2, should MSRP around 15-20,000 Euros. The four-seater will sport three doors and a diesel or the new twincharger engine.



While it looks a smidge like the Shooting Brake concept, we're not convinced this one will hit the market, even by the projected date of 2010.

Re: Audi A1. Audi will make a Mini rival.

That is only a concept that was made for a design competition (something like the Ferrari concepts we had seen not long ago). Even if the A1 is made it will certainly not look anything like that.

Re: Audi A1. Audi will make a Mini rival.

I'm with Klier on this one... makes no sense, VW cover the low-end spectrum.

This sounds as silly as VW going upmarket with the Phaeton... all it will do is produce a fine car that will flop and make the company lose ridiculous amounts of money.

Yea that... and the fact that I can only think of this when I hear A1:

Audi is on fire right now. At least in the European market a new A1 or A2 will be a smashing hit for sure. Of course previous A2 was a disaster but that was mainly due to high price and ugly design.

BTW i just found an article about A1 (in German) here.

Re: Audi A1. Audi will make a Mini rival.

I don't know Yannis... I'm not convinced a luxury brand should venture that low in the markets.
