Audi A1 , A Mini Killer ?

Quote:

We found some sources saying that Audi will bring a Mini killer in 2010 which will be the official successor of the Audi A2, but now called Audi A1.
The current issue of German "Autobild" has this story as a main topic including the first pics ever.
Being currently in Japan we couldn't get our hands on a copy of it, so we had to rely on some pics from an AutoWeek forum. Make your own mind if it looks reliable. To be honest, we don't hope and think so.
Stay tuned for more news!

The Audi A1 is said to arrive with 3 doors, 4 seats, in compact size and with the new twincharger engines. Diesel engines will also be available. It seems like that the Audi A1 will get a shooting brake look, maybe similar to the Audi TT Shooting Brake concept shown in Tokyo.
Prices are said to be between 15.000 and 20.000 Euro.

Kinda looks like a magnum got rear ended into a flatbed. I like it - shame it's an Audi.

We might get this car down here in Mexico, though we never got the A2, but small models sell well like the A-Series Mercedes that was just replaced by the B200.

good to see some interior shots when if/when available. I hate the interior in the Mini.

We finally got our hands on a real (scanned) picture of the Audi A1 from the current issue of Autobild.

The Audi A1 is said to arrive 2010 with 3 doors, 4 seats, in compact size and with the new twincharger engines. Diesel engines will also be available. It seems like that the Audi A1 will get a shooting brake look, maybe similar to the Audi TT Shooting Brake concept shown in Tokyo.
