First look at Audi's new A1 Cabrio and five-door
The minicar segment is about to explode, with new models planned from most of the major carmakers including, for the first time, premium labels such as Audi. While most are heading down the budget road Audi will be launching an upmarket minicar to tackle the Mini Cooper and a possible BMW version. Audi’s new model will be a production version of the A1 Metroproject revealed at last week’s Tokyo Motor Show. It will arrive on the market in late 2009 and will be followed soon after by several variants including a five-door hatchback and cabrio.

These new renderings give us an accurate look at what to expect, revealing designers will be sticking to the lines of the concept car. Some of the elements that are unlikely to make it to production include the exposed aluminum arches, 18in alloys and LED headlights. Read Article

Amazin, you are such a bad bmw enthusiast...Clearly you dont live in europe where bmw's are considered/as common as gm's, US and everyhwere else "high end" is Aston, Bentley, maybach. This guy is uncomprehendable.

The A1 is lookin better than the mini and much less in your face but more refined than bmw's mini spin off. my prediction is if audi keeps this lineup unchanged for production it could be the top in the segement.

Then why is BMW going to come out with a direct competitor at the same price?

I can't understand what makes you such an idiot.

For example, the people on X5world.com (yes, it's an X5 enthusiast website--but it has threads for just about every BMW) are quite nice and enjoy talking about cars from any brand. In fact, they openly admitted that most BMW drivers are assholes (but that they aren't personally) and that Audi owners are probably the best they've met. I didn't ask for their opinions on this--it just came up in one of the threads.

And they NEVER get tired of talking about the new X5. Even though several posters have X5s that are similar to the one we're getting, they were still impressed.

Looks pretty cool. I like the roofline feature. It's cool and unique. Reminds me of the R8.
