A1 offical design team pictures!

Same old sketches doing the rounds again I see and the more I see them, the more I dislike it - reminds me of Rover 25 with an Audi nose.

Cheers,

Mike

No - absolutely not. I'd either go for a TT TDi, remapped and fettled or an A8 TDi, with the same treatment.

I just can't get excited by a steel 3-door supermini that has been introduced to compete with the BMW Mini (and will probably fail!), whether it has 200PS or not.

Sorry!

Cheers,

Mike
 
It doesn't interest me much either. I might perk up a bit if it can beat our 65MPG (unlikely with a steel body) or if it has a hybrid drivetrain (even more unlikely). There are lots of exciting cars coming out over the next three years and I am not sure Audi are being imaginative enough.
 
I think they have lost the plot with this one, I wouldn't consider it as it has only been shown as a three door and competition for a mini! They should be aiming at the BMW1 series, I like the BMW1 as its almost (in my opinion) has the size but better looks than the A3. Also BMW have done lots to make the inside a quality look even for their baby car.

Oops, sorry too many BMWs mentioned there:rolleyes:

I think there is a Hybrid model being launched at the Tokyo motor show. :)
 
Another Link for the A1

Hey gang.

Just found another link, this time with what appears to be real pics of the A1. (Maybe Photoshop)

Oh.. and by the way, scroll down a bit more to see the sexy new concept for the A4. What do you think Mike? ;)

The A1 photos do look real and will probably be of the concelt car to be shown in October.

I still think the car is awful and completely unimaginative.

The new A4 though is a different kettle of fish - having driven the A5 and liked it a lot, I do like the way that the new A4 is practically an A5 clone, but with added practicality built in.

The A5 is a big car, but yet only has room in the back for very small adults or children, even with the front seats forward!

The boot space is good, but because of the shape of the lid, you won't be getting anything large in there.

The A4 though does have decent rear seats and a decent boot, but yet manages to be smaller on the outside, in much the same way as our A2s are.

The Avant should be even better!

Cheers,

Mike

Oh, and it's not an A4 concept either - that's the real deal, as available from early next year (Eco engine apart).
