As a follow up, just read this as part of "www.audiworld.com" coverage of the paris motor show.
"In honor of two important new Audis Inglostadt brought out the big guns for the Paris Motor Show. Most members of the Audi main board turned up, including the very useful Dr. Werner Mischke. This straight talking guy is Audi's Technical Development chief, and he can speak his mind without interruption from pesky, over cautious-press officers. And that's what he did.
Mischke explains that Audi is reorienting itself as an even more seriously sporting brand. And even though there was an A2 on the Audi stand there just ain't room for a car like that in the new plan, so it will die a natural death in 2005. "To replace that vehicle directly is not the right thing for the future," said Mischke. "
We'll just have to live in hope that Mischke will get the boot before the A2.
