Audi to build a Mini-killer?

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.

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.
